Department of Bilingual & ESL Education
The Department of Bilingual & ESL Education is proud to have the unique opportunity to educate students from a multitude of diverse backgrounds, cultures, countries, and first languages!
Manor ISD students speak numerous dialects of at least 26 languages including Spanish, Vietnamese, French, Arabic, Korean, Cambodian, Portuguese, Laotian, Cebuano, Ibo/Ibgo, Thai, Yoruba, Japanese, Chinese, Farsi, Tagalog, Cantonese, Swahili, Somali, Telegu, Marathi, Amharic, Bengali, German, Gujarti, and Urdu.
Bilingual & ESL students represent 30% of Manor ISD’s overall student population. Spanish/English bilingual instruction and ESL are offered at all elementary campuses. At our middle schools and high schools, ESL students receive instruction from teams of teachers who receive special training in Sheltered Instruction to meet their academic and language needs. We also offer a Newcomer Program at our secondary campuses which provides intensive English language instruction to students who are new to US schools.
We look forward to meeting and working with Manor ISD parents and students in 2009-2010!
