In this resource, the expression English language learners in French-language schools refers to students enrolled in Ontario’s French-language schools who are developing proficiency in English and may require targeted instructional support in English-language learning contexts.
In Ontario curriculum documents, the acronym ELL (English Language Learners) is commonly used to describe students in provincially funded English-language schools whose first language is not English. For clarity, this guide does not use the acronym ELL on its own.
