TEXAS: TELPS and TEKS

In Lockstep with New Texas ELP Standards

Texas recently adopted new, more granular English Language Proficiency Standards (ELPS). Educators must begin incorporating these standards into English learner instruction starting in the 2026–2027 school year, with an updated TELPAS assessment following one year later.

Language Tree helps ELD educators ensure students build the critical language skills outlined in the new standards, while preparing them for both TELPAS and STAAR. The program addresses all four language domains — Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing — at a level appropriate to each student's proficiency stage.

The Language Tree Hybrid Curriculum Aligns with with the Latest Texas ELPS Standards

Leveled ESL Programs Specifically Designed for Secondary English Learners

Teenagers are not children, so instructional resources should reflect relevant aspects of teen culture and their stage of emotional development. Language Tree Online is the only program specifically designed for multilingual learners in secondary grades.

The Language Tree programs provide the right amount of linguistic support for each proficiency level:

  • Newcomer serves Pre-production-level learners who have recently arrived in the country
  • ELD1 is designed for Beginner-level English learners
  • ELD2 is suitable for Intermediate and High Intermediate LTELs who are struggling to achieve re-designation

Review how our curriculum aligns with the latest Texas ELPS.

We recognize that English learner students have strengths and weaknesses across different proficiency areas. That's why our comprehensive, combined ELD1 & ELD2 program gives educators the flexibility to assign relevant modules to students, supporting individualized instruction.
