The BCTF’s ESL Provincial Specialist Association has produced a brochure for parents of ESL students in BC public schools: http://psas.bctf.ca/ESLPSA/

The brochure explains the following to parents:

  • what ESL support might look like for their children,
  • what is involved in learning a new language,
  • how school in British Columbia may be different from what they experienced in their home countries,
  • ways they can know how their children are doing at school, and
  • what they can do to help their children learn.

The brochure has been translated into the fourteen most common languages spoken by students in BC public schools: http://www.bctf.ca/parents.aspx?id=3666
