ELLINZ@lphs
For two years Logan Park High School has been involved with ELLINZ online which is a programme designed for students with limited or no English language skills from year 7 onwards. Here at Logan Park High School we have a small class of students who are new residents to New Zealand and are ELLP Stage 1 or below on the English Language Learning Progressions. We are based in the ESOL classroom where lessons are delivered via live lessons on skype four times a week plus four sessions on computers in our E-Classroom doing follow up work.
Our students are all very keen to learn English in order to live, work and study in New Zealand. Sometimes students have never used a computer until they come to Logan Park, but we soon assist them to become as computer literate as any other Kiwi student. I feel very privileged to be part of this class because as I help them learn English, I learn about the different parts of the world they come from. It is truly a journey of discovery for everyone!
