About Our

ENGLISH LEARNERS 

  IF you think that English Learners or ELs are students who are born in other countries, move to the U.S., and speak  languages other than English, you are correct! However, the increasing number of students born on U.S. soil, who speak languages in addition to English, are ELs, too.

Well, what about the students who are born in the U.S. and are native English speakers? Would they qualify as English Learners? YES! In fact, ALL students attending schools in our country are technically English Learners! The main difference between native and non-native ELs is that non-native English-speakers generally process language in their native language before they are able to translate and express information into English. It may take several years and specialized instruction to enable non-native English speakers to meet the academic expectations of the Georgia Standards of Excellence (GSE).  According to Georgia's Governor's Office of Student Achievement, the number of Hispanic students alone nearly doubled in the 10 year period between 2003-2013 and the population of ELs continues to increase through the current year (2020).

To meet the ever-changing needs of our state's linguistically diverse population, general education and ESOL* (English to Speakers of Other Languages) teachers must utilize effective strategies and instructional resources.

(*ESOL programs are supplemental, federally-funded Title III programs for which English language learners must quality or be screened to received additional academic assistance in school.)

Peach e~books' primary goals are to: 1)  IDENTIFY and share appropriate resources and
2) to create effective resources to help support teachers of English Learners (ELs) as they support our students.

Through the use of effective tools and strategies, we will better prepare our English learners (ELs) for future academic successes. 

Thank you for your support.
