As the number of English learners (also called emergent bilingual learners) continues to increase across the country, educators and district administrators need smarter ways to ensure better academic outcomes for every student.
Lexia English Language Development, a language solution for grades K-6, is designed to help emergent bilingual learners acquire higher levels of English language proficiency. The program provides students with opportunities for extensive speaking and listening practice that spans the curriculum and includes integrated grammar and academic vocabulary learning.
“I believe all (emergent bilingual) students need to use this program starting in kindergarten because I know that accurate oral language, listening skills and vocabulary are important indicators of future success,” said Mary Doerr, ESL specialist at Lincoln Elementary School in Wenatchee, Washington.
Designed to develop competence and confidence
Unlike other English language development products, Lexia English is a resource-based speaking and listening program that creates an inclusive classroom where emergent bilingual students find a safe, nonjudgmental environment to practice and build confidence while learning English. It is aligned to multiple reading and language teaching standards, and the built-in speech recognition engine offers immediate, guided, corrective feedback.
Through academic conversations with 17 characters from diverse cultures and ethnicities, students stay engaged every step of the way and see their achievements and successes celebrated. Relatable characters allow students to see themselves in their learning, which helps them feel represented and respected and supports their social-emotional well-being. The program integrates speaking, listening, and grammar into math, science, social studies, general knowledge, and biographies, providing students with the academic English skills they need to succeed.
Tracking progress at multiple levels
Lexia English software offers educators real-time progress tracking of student performance in specific language proficiency areas, providing actionable data to support student achievement in a personalized way.
Lexia English features Educator Reports designed to help teachers and administrators answer important questions about their students' proficiency levels, program usage, and instructional needs.

With Lexia English, educators are equipped with the tools to address individual student needs, reduce the impact of time constraints, improve their readiness, and access actionable data to better support student performance. Teacher-led resources and lessons complement the online component of student-driven independent learning, helping to optimize instruction and ensure teacher effectiveness.
