Binnsmead: An ELL School
May 23, 2005
There are 138 languages spoken in Oregon public schools today. They range from Spanish, to Russian, to Punjabi, to Somali.
The majority of Oregon students speak English, but over the last 20 years the number of children who don't speak English has grown significantly.
All this week on we'll be exploring how this demographic shift is playing out in schools and in the classroom.
In this first installment of our series "The Language of Learning" Gretchen Lehmann takes us on a visit to Binnsmead Middle School in Southeast Portland, where a quarter of the students begin school with little English.
