The Mixed-Level English Language Arts (ELA) class, part of the broader English Language Development (ELD) program, is designed to support multilingual learners across all proficiency levels, from beginners to advanced students. Guided by Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles, this class offers a personalized, supportive, and dynamic environment where students can build essential English skills while engaging with diverse texts, podcasts, and creative projects. Differentiated activities and collaborative learning ensure that every student has the opportunity to enhance their reading, writing, speaking, and listening abilities in meaningful and challenging ways.

Students in this class progress through one of four levels—ELA 1, 2, 3, or 4—earning credit as they demonstrate mastery of skills and tackle increasingly advanced tasks. The program takes learners on a comprehensive journey of language acquisition, beginning with foundational skills for daily life and academic tasks. As students grow, they expand their academic vocabulary and learn to communicate more effectively through structured discussions, analyses of stories and podcasts, and clear organization of ideas in writing and speech. At advanced levels, students refine their critical thinking and communication skills, synthesizing information from multiple sources, composing essays, and participating in thoughtful discussions. The final stage fosters intellectual independence, with students annotating complex texts, leading discussions, and producing polished essays and presentations. 

Collaborative learning in mixed-level groups fosters peer support, shared growth, and a sense of community. Flexible pathways allow students to choose tasks that align with their individual goals and abilities, fostering ownership of their learning. A strong emphasis on real-world skills ensures students develop the practical communication and academic language necessary for their future success.
