Keys to Success for English Language Learners (Key Series Audience-specific)

As part of the Keys to Success
series, this chapter-sized segment provides success strategies
specific to students for whom English is not a first language, to
meet English language learners’ needs and circumstances.


Keys to Success for English Language
Learners is a concise and focused one-chapter-sized segment
that validates and supports the particular needs of students for
whom English is not a first language, whether they are identified
as ESL (English as a Second Language), ELL (English Language
Learner), LEP (Limited English Proficiency), or other student
classifications. Students who are learning English have the
challenge of language on top of the task of learning college-level
material. In addition to providing support for the aspects of
learning English while in college, this resource emphasizes the
strengths and benefits these students have and can use, helping to
combat the uncertainty and low self-esteem such students often
experience. Cultural adjustment and success beyond graduation is
also addressed. These materials are designed to increase the
engagement and retention of the English language learner,
benefiting learners as well as institutions.
