Language Program
ELD Program
English Literacy Development (ELD) is a program for English language learners who have had limited opportunities to develop language and literacy skills in their first language. Being literate means having the skills to be able to read, write and speak to understand and create meaning in English. Our ELD program is designed followed by the Ministry of Education, Ontario, Canada curriculum. The ELD program includes listening, speaking, reading and writing. They also include such things as awareness of the sounds of language, awareness of print, and the relationship between letters and sounds. Other literacy skills include vocabulary, spelling, and comprehension.
The Literacy and English framework promotes the development of critical and creative thinking as well as competence in listening and talking, reading, writing and the personal, interpersonal and team-working skills which are so important in life and in the world of work.
This program also covers the Observable Language and Literacy Behaviours (OLLB). The program helps the English language learners  who have limited or interrupted formal schooling and require an English literacy development program. The varieties describe English language and literacy proficiency development in three broad strands: (i) oral, (ii) reading and (iii) writing. Each strand is guided by the Ontario language curriculum and the ELD curriculum. The Oral strand is defined in terms of listening and speaking skills. Reading is organized by the elements: meaning, form and style, and fluency. The Writing strand emphasizes the view of writing as a process, progressing from prewriting and organization of ideas, to writing and editing. The Observable Language and Literacy Behaviours continua have two main purposes: one is to inform programming and the other is to track the student’s language proficiency.
           Finally, ELD has been developed to ensure that English language learners have the maximum opportunity to become proficient in English and achieve the high levels of literacy that are expected of world students. For more information, please Click Here.
