In 2017, ADSB enrolled 27 English language learners from five different countries, so far this school year, the board is welcoming 250 students from 44 different countries
Years of work developing a program welcoming students new to Canada has paid off for the Algoma District School Board as it continues to experience an exponential increase in the number of new English language learners.
“It’s great to see this unfolding and it’s great that we keep shaping it to what the needs are. It’s very exciting to see the growth,” said Lucia Reece, director of Education.A breakdown of the countries of origin for those students show 15 are originally from The Philippines, while an additional 10 hail from Ukraine. Seven of this year's ELL students are originally from India, while South and Central America account for a total of 14 students.
Once in the classroom, an effort is made in the first days to make the student feel welcome in their new environment. Signs are posted in multiple languages and a peer helper is assigned. ELL students are taught survival phrases, like using the washroom or getting a drink. “At the time I heard it I thought I am sure this would not happen at ADSB, so this presentation tonight is really timely for me to know what is going on and I really appreciate the work," said Myers.
