Welcome to the Multilingual Learners (ML) Department of Farnsworth Middle School! In previous years, you may have known us under our former name of the English Learners (EL) Department. The best way to contact us is by email. The ML Department's mission is to increase academic achievement for all Multilingual Learners and support them in increasing their English proficiency.
The culturally and linguistically diverse students we serve are our greatest assets. Our students work to increase their English skills and learn academic topics at the same time. ML techniques and methods are designed to teach skills in the four domains of reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Instruction for all ML students of all English language proficiency levels occurs within the mainstream classroom with ML support whenever possible.
