English as a Second Language
The Program
The Transitional Bilingual Program of Memphis City Schools was established during the 1979-80 school year to meet the needs of students from non-English language backgrounds (NELB). The name of the program was changed from Transitional Bilingual Programs to English as a Second Language (ESL) Program in 1996 to reflect the program’s focus of English acquisition. The ESL Program is a supplemental transitional program that focuses on developing the student’s competency in English skills and academic achievement until the student can fully benefit from regular classroom instruction.
