globe:

Welcome to the Department of English Language Acquisition home page.  The ELA Department is responsible for providing English language acquisition services to more than 13,500 English language learners in the Denver Public Schools.  More than 137 languages are spoken in DPS.  As of October 1, 2007, Spanish is the primary language for 11,573 of the 12,886 English language learners.

The goal of the ELA program is to use efficient and effective educational methods to provide students with the English language skills they need to meaningfully participate in the district's mainstream English language instructional program.  Parents of students who speak a language other than English choose whether or not they want their child to participate in the ELA program.  For those children who do participate in the ELA program, it is expected that they will have sufficient proficiency in English to meaningfully participate in supported English language classrooms after three years in the program. 

This website is designed to provide you with valuable information about the Department of English Language Acquisiton and the services it provides in the Denver Public Schools.  If you have additional questions, please contact the ELA Hotline at (720) 423-8155.
