Multilingual Learners

The words English Learners spelled out in wood blocks on a wood table.

District 70 is fortunate to have many students in classrooms whose first language is something other than English. The district offers service to assist in the acquisition of English. Students that are new to the district and indicate on the Home and Language Survey that a language other than English is spoken in the home or by the student are screened to determine eligibility to participate in the Multilingual Learners programming. Once students are eligible a dedicated Multilingual Language teacher will oversee their success. 

District 70 students have indicated backgrounds in the following languages: French, Lithuanian, Ukrainian, Arabic, Greek, Hungarian, Portuguese, Italian, Swedish, Kamba, Malayalam, Gujarati, Cantonese, Pilipino, Japanese, Serbian, Hindi, Thai, Polish, Romanian, Mandarin, Korean, Bengali, German, Marathi, and Telugu.
