Welcome to the wonderful world of ESOL.  The acronym ESOL stands for English Speakers of Other Languages.  Students who come to our school with a home language other than English can come to our program for support with the English language.  Here at Nottingham West we are fortunate enough to have students from more than 9 different language backgrounds.  Learning a second language is a challenging and exciting adventure.  We work hard every day to celebrate our diversity, acquire new skills and take on the challenges of elementary school.  If you have any questions about our ESOL program please don't hesitate to contact me.
