TEKS English Language Proficiency Standards (ELPS) Summary

LEARNING STRATEGIESc1A: Use prior knowledge and experiences to understand meanings in English.

The English Language Enhancement (ELE) is divided into three sections. In the first two sections, the learning activities correlate to certain lessons in the Reading Horizons v5 software and direct instruction. The third section provides activities to aid in learning the English culture in the U.S. Specifically, students learn how to guess the meanings of unknown words from context (ELE, pp. 36-37).

c1B: Monitor oral and written language production and employ self-corrective techniques or other resources.

Throughout the software, students have opportunities to record themselves and compare their pronunciation to that of a native speaker. Students learn how to self-monitor in the English Language Enhancement (ELE) (ELE, pp. 48-49).

The English Language Enhancement booklet integrates vocabulary strategies, pronunciation practice, and a culture reference to expand the program’s usefulness for English-language learners. Students will practice the various strategies and will participate in evaluations at the end of each strategy to help determine which strategy best suits them in learning the English language.

Students will also learn that all English vowels can assume the schwa sound in unstressed syllables (Student Workbook, pp.101-102).
