ESL help many students learn English and adapt lll l L With the rise of immigrants to America, many new students enter high school knowing a totally different language and culture. Helping these students to learn the language and adapt to the culture of America, the English as a Second Lan- guage Program QESLJ mainstreamed these foreign students into the student body. The program enrolled 225 stu- dents the largest amount ever for the program. They spoke 10 different lan- guages. ESL coordinator Laura Ranks her assistants Javad Tabrizi and Sammy Hakkakian foreign language teachers and student teachers taught these stu- dents the English language and American culture. To graduate from ESL the stu- dents had to pass the statewide Hart Law test for English skills. Passing the test was a great accomplishment for ESL students who barely knew English when they first arrived to the United States from other countries. The Foreign Language Department had an enrollment of 2,022 students, a new high and an increase of 237 students from last year. Department chairman Alan Weiner attributed this increase to the importance of knowing a foreign lan- guage for college admissions and in the business world. Jon Weilmaker replaced Marlene Wagener as the German teacher. 1. ESL Assistant Javad Tabrizi teaches his foreign students about American culture. 2.
