How long are students monitored after exiting the ESL program?

After students exit the ESL program, they are monitored for a period of 2 years to ensure that they continue to perform well academically and are successfully integrating into the mainstream classroom. This monitoring phase is crucial because it allows educators to track the student’s progress, provide additional support if necessary, and ensure that the student can maintain and develop their language skills alongside their academic learning.

This period of observation helps to identify any lingering language deficits that might hinder their academic success and ensures that schools can intervene appropriately to support these students as they transition away from specialized language instruction. By the end of the two years, the aim is for these students to have developed sufficient proficiency in English to function effectively in an English-speaking educational environment without the need for ESL services.
