Do you struggle to give your English learners

  • first-language support,
  • academic vocabulary instruction, and
  • comprehensive data on their progress–all at a price that fits your district's budget?

English learners need high-quality, individualized instruction based on sound EL pedagogy in order to succeed. That's a pretty tall order for a group of students that can make up anywhere from 5 to 75 percent of your total student population.

No matter your school or district's situation, Imagine Learning offers the resources you need to help your English learners make measurable gains. Here's just a small sampling of the unique instructional practices we use to help ELs make serious progress:

First-Language Support

We offer first-language support for speakers of the following 14 languages, with more languages added regularly:

  • English
  • Spanish
  • Portuguese
  • French
  • Haitian Creole
  • Korean
  • Vietnamese
  • Mandarin
  • Japanese
  • Arabic
  • Russian
  • Marshallese
  • Tagalog
  • Cantonese

First-language support is strategically withdrawn as a student's ability to understand English increases, so instruction is challenging but not overwhelming.

Introduction to Academic Vocabulary

Research tells us that English learners must master academic vocabulary, not just basic interpersonal communication skills. With Imagine Learning, students learn both basic and academic vocabulary, including valuable cross-curricular words common to social studies, science, and math.

Useful Data for Teachers and Parents

We know that individual attention from teachers and parents solidifies student success. That's why we designed both comprehensive and parent-specific reports that show teachers where to focus additional instruction, parents how to support their child's learning at home, and students where they've made improvements. Printouts even include an easy-to-read list of unmastered concepts and vocabulary.
