The Academic ESL Program. The Academic ESL Program is a full time (25 hours per week) program designed for students who need to improve their English before entering a University Foundation or University Transfer Program.
ELD refers to the name of an academic program--a program that helps English Language Learners (ELL's) develop their English skills and succeed in school. ELD is a term to describe a program, not the student in the program. The English Language Learner (ELL) is the student who is either first learning or developing English language skills, and he/she participates in the ELD program. Sometimes, the term ELL is shortened to EL (English Learner).
