[quote=Anonymous]Congratulations. OP! I am a ELL teacher in DC and I have worked with internationally adopted students before. I am no expert but I can share some things: *DCPS places students by age, not ability. If your child is 8, they will place him/her in a class with other 8 year olds. *Internationally adopted children will learn to speak (social) English very quickly, as this is the only way to communicate with their new caregiver. *These children will still need ESL services for academic English and academics in general. *Many of the schools in upper NW have a diverse ELL population, due to the embassies and World Bank. Those schools will have the most experience teaching non-Spanish speaking ELL students. *Depending on the background of your children, you may want to research therapists. The students that I've worked with who are most successful have had some sort of therapy. Good luck! [/quote]
