Children learn English in Montgomery County schools
In Gaithersburg Elementary and nearby schools, eight students from Afghanistan, El Salvador, China, Korea and Vietnam join ESOL programs to learn English. Teachers note rapid progress, with some students moving from beginners to proficient in under a year, while others take longer due to prior schooling and age. The program stresses using English as the common language in class and in school life, while supporting home language use for family bonds and cultural ties.
