English Language Learners
Workbook for Middle School Intermediate Level Students
This curriculum is designed for new language learners who have been in the country for 2
years and who are characterized by the following conditions. These students:
• have lived in the US for less than 2 years
• presently live in a culturally diverse community where English is a predominately
secondary language in the surrounding environment
• live in a family situation where one or both parents speak primarily in their native
language
• live in a community where there are limited English speaking opportunities and English
translation is used in daily living skills interaction
• have had more than 6 years of formal education in their native language.
Preface
This workbook is a diagnostic tool as well as a curriculum for English Language Learners who are
considered newly arrivals in the United States. Many of the quizzes and longer tests are designed as
pretest instruments for determining base levels. For this reason the contents of the workbook are not
presented in any sequential order for mastery.
The lessons are geared to the mastery language levels for middle school students. Learning
expectations for students are explained as success levels for mastery and are based on the following
assumptions.
• Students achieve at least 80% of a score of 100 for correct answers on any given examination.
• At least 80% percent of the entire (total number of students) class score at least 80% of a score of
100 accuracy on the task
• Scores of 79% of a score of 100 or below, indicate re-teaching until mastery is accomplished.
Acknowledgments
This workbook is dedicated to the many who teach in inner city schools, who teach hope and nurture
with great care, who model self-esteem and live kindness, and especially to my fellow associates at
Thomas J. Rusk Middle School in Dallas, TX.
It is with great appreciation that I acknowledge the work would not have been completed without the
loving encouragement of my family; mother Mary, my sister and bother; Truey and Mark, my dear
friends; Cheryl Herrick, Keith Waataja, and Joyce Ducas. They all believed in my true calling: teaching.
Thank you Dad for watching over me all these years, giving me the strength to follow my heart.
