Homeschool Program for English Language Learning Students
If your child is an English Language Learner (ELL), you need a homeschool curriculum that offers comprehensive language development. It should address skills like listening, speaking, reading and writing. Enrolling them in a traditional classroom could leave them feeling lost. A quality bilingual homeschool curriculum will often provide additional language support services, such as robust English as a Second Language (ESL) classes.
Power Homeschool’s English language learner curriculum offers a range of resources for ELL students, encouraging parental involvement and providing resources to support your child’s English language learning at home. We leverage state-of-the-art technology to ensure all the foundations are in place for your child to learn at their pace while they master the basics.
How Power Homeschool Supports ESL Homeschool Students
Power Homeschool offers a predominantly English homeschool curriculum, but for students whose native language is Spanish, we offer ESL (English as a Second Language) courses for a smooth transition to the rest of our courses. While not strictly a bilingual homeschool program, our program equips ELL students with the tools they need to succeed. We understand that every child progresses differently, and some students may need more time to learn a second language than others.
We’ve designed our ESL homeschool curriculum to give students the foundation to benefit from hundreds of other courses while becoming more proficient in English. Power Homeschool provides students with the following benefits.
Professional Video Instruction and Flexible Course Pace
Power Homeschool’s video-based lessons allow students to make strides at their preferred speed. Our ESL course allows students to take their time learning language basics by rewatching lessons as often as necessary. Each video will include visual cues, enabling them to quickly identify and use words in the correct context. They give children multiple opportunities to assimilate the coursework through pictures, music and text, appealing to different learning styles.
Our online ESL curriculum caters to students learning at any rate. If your child finds a lesson easy, they can complete it and move on to something more challenging. They can revisit the lesson if they need more time to grasp a concept.
Acellus® Writing Tutor
The Acellus® Writing Tutor is an innovative way to familiarize your student with the correct use of the English language. It tutors students as they write, giving them real-time spelling, grammar and style feedback. Instead of working as an automatic spell checker, it flags words for your child. They must look terms up in the dictionary to understand the meaning and correct their spelling.
The vocabulary option is particularly valuable for ESL students. It provides them with compelling synonyms for commonly used words. Over time, their facility and comfort with their second language will grow alongside their vocabulary.
PRISM DIAGNOSTICS
Prism Diagnostics® identifies specific deficiencies in students’ understanding of core concepts and immediately responds with corrective videos. The result is that every student receives personalized instruction when they need it most.
Vectored Instruction™
Vectored Instruction™ enables students to master foundational prerequisites to success in their current course of study. It fills in the gaps while keeping students within their credit-level course, enabling them to complete their coursework with passing grades and get on track for graduation.
These tools create the perfect curriculum for ELL students. They identify focus areas and provide the tools they need to correct deficits. With Vectored Instruction™, students can progress with their chosen courses while acquiring foundational language skills.
