Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024

The department-approved English language development standards provide a companion piece to the New Mexico content standards for English language arts. The approved standards shall guide second-language instruction for PreK-12 English language learner students. The English language learner population falls into three basic categories: students whose primary or home language (L1) is other than English including recent immigrants; students from heritage language groups needing enrichment and further development of academic English, some of whom maintain degrees of fluency in their heritage language; and any other students needing enrichment and further development of academic English. Because instruction must address the appropriate proficiency level of the individual student, which may vary greatly for any age, some consideration shall be made for the student's maturity level.
