BEAT THE RUSH. Most camps have limited enrollment and an application process. More exclusive programs–such as study abroad or highly rated academic camps–will fill early. Start your search in February or earlier. Doing so will afford your child a wider variety of choices.

ASK AROUND. Begin by asking teachers and school counselors for recommendations. Educators receive materials about academic camps, leadership institutes, and other summer programs. Talk to other parents about camps their kids have attended.

CONSIDER THIS. What are your child’s interests? Skills? Temperament? In what academic subjects does she need to improve? For the athletic child, consider sports camps (these are usually 1-week affairs). For the child in need of academic support, look to programs at boarding schools.

SCHEDULE. Do you have family excursions, business trips, birthdays, or holidays during the summer? When will school be done for your child? When does the new school year begin? To work around your summer plans, consider a combination of 1-week-long camps. Also, consider day camps to allow your child to participate in family events in the evening.

BUDGET. Are you looking for the most bang for your buck or would you prefer an “all-inclusive” experience for your child? For the former, YMCAs and local churches offer cost-effective programs. For the latter, consider programs such as Experiment International (EI) or the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS). Many programs offer financial aid.

One of the goals of bilingual education in the United States is to support the learning of English by students who come from homes where other languages are spoken. A concern with student performance in mainstream classes following their transfer from bilingual education programs has prompted educators to focus on the types of English skills needed for success in academic work in which the home language is no longer used.

This variety of English has been labeled academic English. The context in which educational English is used and the features of the text define the form that academic writing will take. This entry briefly explains both text and context and discusses broader implications of educational English for education programs. In the view of the public, academic English is often regarded as the “best” form of that language and therefore the form schools should concentrate on developing in students. Professionals of various disciplines tend to define academic English relative to the language requirements of a particular discipline.

Often, English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers working with English language learners and English educators who teach native speakers of English have different goals for academic English. This distinction exemplifies how academic English is defined differently in various contexts. Background: An increasing focus on academic English can be traced historically to the mid-19th century, when books and other printed materials first became widely available. Newspapers and scientific tracts called for different forms of the language for different purposes.
