This class builds on the foundation of ELD 1 to further develop English language skills in English grammar and vocabulary with a focus on mastering past tense.  Students are engaged in scaffolded reading and writing activities. Students learn English in the four areas of reading, writing, speaking, and listening as described in the California state-adopted ELD standards.

 

After completion of English 1, this course will fulfill one year of the English graduation requirement.
