What does LPAC do when a student is failing after exiting the ESL program?

The appropriate action of the LPAC (Language Proficiency Assessment Committee) when a student is failing after exiting the ESL program is to immediately re-enroll the student in ESL. This procedure reflects a commitment to ensuring that all students achieve academic success, especially for those who may not yet be fully proficient in English.

Re-enrollment provides additional language support that is tailored to help the student progress in their language acquisition and academic skills. This option recognizes that after exiting an ESL program, a student may still face challenges in their coursework due to limited English proficiency. Therefore, bringing the student back into the ESL program allows for targeted interventions and resources that could facilitate their success.

Other options may suggest valuable actions, such as monitoring or gathering feedback, but they do not directly address the immediate needs of a student who is struggling academically. Monitoring for another year might not provide the urgent support that is necessary, and a satisfaction survey could inform improvements but would not proactively support the student's educational needs. Redesigning the curriculum, while important for overall program efficacy, does not directly assist the individual student in crisis. Hence, re-enrollment in ESL stands out as the most effective response.
