Spotlight on English is a comprehensive, standards-based program for English language learners (ELLs) designed to help K?6 students gain and develop English language proficiency, access grade-level content, and successfully transition to the mainstream classroom. Spotlight on English provides educators with the tools necessary to empower ELLs to acquire the English language accurately and achieve competency in the four language arts domains of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Many ELLs develop informal language skills and are able to communicate in English, but they are not able to do well in content-area classes because they have not mastered or are unfamiliar with the vocabulary and structures needed to learn the content. In addition, many of these students stabilize at the intermediate level of their language development, and they remain there indefinitely. Spotlight on English?s carefully structured lessons address this problem by allowing teachers to expose their students to grade-level Academic English and models of Standard English, thereby giving students the necessary self-confidence and knowledge to move out of the intermediate level, achieve proficiency in academic English, and enter the mainstream classroom.
