I just learned a term that is new to me: English as a New Language/ENL [View all]

I heard it on the CBS Evening News. They were doing a story on "migrant children" now in the NYC school system. They interviewed an ENL teacher at a school with a high immigrant enrollment.

It's not a second language. It is a new language. I like the different emphasis

When asked how they approach teaching ENL, she said lots of smiles and laughter to make the process fun.

I need to note the obvious. NYC is a Democratic sanctuary city.
