English-As-A-Second Language Project. Title I Fund, Fund Number 58-5: 1971-72 Evaluation.
Halasa, Ofelia; Fleming, Margaret
The 1971-72 Title I, 1965 Elementary Secondary Education Act, English-As-A-Second Language Project represented local educational efforts for the sixth consecutive year to provide services which would alleviate language, social, and cultural problems of elementary school age second-language learners. The goal of the project was to provide a specialized program of instruction directed at helping non-English speaking elementary school children acquire some level of proficiency in the use of the English language as well as in helping them adjust to the immediate environment. During the 1971-72 school year, the project served a total of approximately 620 pupils in 12 public and one parochial elementary schools. The process objectives included the following: (1) assignment of an English-As-A-Second Language team which consists of an English-As-A-Second Language teacher, a teacher assistant, and a tutor to schools will be based on concentration of non-English speaking students; (2) a maximum of 15 pupils will be assigned to any one class session where duration per session may vary from one hour to 20 minutes based on the proficiency level of the group; follow-up tutoring sessions are from one half and hour to one hour; and, (3) pupils will be grouped according to needs in oral English and basic reading skills.
