6. What do ELL, ESL and ELD mean?
English Language Learners (ELL) are the students whose first
language is a language other than English, or is a variety of English
that is significantly different from the variety used for instruction in
Ontario schools. These students may be Canadian-born or
newcomers from other countries.
English as a Second Language (ESL) refers to the program received
by ELL students who are literate in their first language.
English Literacy Development (ELD) refers to the program
received by ELL students who are (a) not literate in their first
language, (b) have educational gaps, or (c) speak non-standard
Ontario English.
