Give English Learners the Tools They Need to Succeed

Standards-Based and Leveled English Language Development (ELD) Programs for Middle and High School

Individualized ELD/ESOL Curriculum for Multilingual Learners

The Language Tree standards-based English Language Development programs put English learners in grades 6-12 on the path to academic success. We help educators identify and address language skill gaps to accelerate English language acquisition. Our online and teacher-led lessons target specific proficiency levels and are ideal support for designated ELD, integrated ELD, and Developmental Language Arts classes.

Bridge the Language Gaps Holding Back Long-Term English Learners

Long-term English learners (LTELs) often have underlying gaps in one or more language domains.  Language Tree identifies these critical skill gaps and addresses them with targeted instruction to help learners achieve reclassification.

Next, the program strengthens the language skills needed to meet academic standards in content area courses. That's because language doesn't only live in ELA and ELD/ESOL classes. It also lives in math, science, history, and other content areas. Our ELD Level 2 curriculum integrates cross-curricular content within language lessons to help English learners unpack academic language.

Help Newcomers Acculturate and Build Functional Vocabulary

Newcomer students arriving in middle or high school face more challenges than just learning English. Adjusting to a new culture and school can be difficult for anyone, much less a teenager trying to fit in.

Only Language Tree Online offers a Newcomers curriculum that includes acculturation support together with functional vocabulary building and scaffolded language instruction. Our goal is to make sure recently arrived students feel comfortable and prepared in their new school environment.
