Welcome to the Texans Can Academies Emergent Bilingual/ESL Department. Our goal is to enrich and accelerate the natural transition of language acquisition from the first language to the second language (English) while ensuring long-term affective, linguistic, and cognitive development.
Students who enroll in TCA whose 1st language is not English will have the original Home Language Survey requested from the previous school of enrollment. Those new to Texas will complete a Home Language Survey. If that language is something other than English, the student should have been evaluated for language proficiency in their prior school. TCA will evaluate all of those new to Texas.
TCA offers a pull-out ESL model of support across all of our campuses. Students identified as Emergent Bilingual students will receive these support services.
