Multilingual Learners (MLL)
Bristol Warren schools are home to approximately 100 MLL students in grades K-12. Some of the students' primary languages include Arabic, French, Portuguese, and Spanish. In addition to classroom and content area teachers, we have four MLL teachers that work with these students to increase their English language proficiency.
Who is an MLL?
A Multilingual Learner (MLL) is a student who is eligible to receive support at school with their English language development.
How is eligibility determined?
A Home Language Survey is filled out as part of the registration process. Based on responses, the student will be given an English Language Screener.
What is ACCESS?
Each year, students in English Learner programs take the ACCESS for ELLs language proficiency test. The test measures academic English language proficiency for students learning English in our school and throughout our state. School staff use this information to help them make decisions about instruction for your child and to monitor their progress toward English language proficiency.
