The ESOL program at Landrum Middle School provides intensive instruction in English through the use of accelerated learning and second language methodologies. The program is designed to ensure that each second language learner develops proficiency in the comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing of the English language. Students learn in a supportive and caring environment provided by certified teachers. There are three levels of ESOL, which assist the student in mastering the essential knowledge and skills by following the English TEKS and ESOL standards. These levels are based on each student’s proficiency level in English determined by the IPT, an oral language proficiency test, the RPTE, state testing for reading comprehension, and the TAKS. The levels are: New Arrival (Beginning), Intermediate, and Advanced.
