Santoto English Kids: An initiative to Develop English Language Skills for Students with Low Income.

Abstract

Talking about developing English language skills among students from low-income backgrounds, focusing on the socio-economic challenges that impede language acquisition and the efficacy of targeted educational interventions is a critical issue that intersects with broader educational and socio-economic challenges. This paper examines the socio-economic barriers these students face, including limited access to resources, inadequate school, and socio-cultural factors that impact language acquisition. It also examines the effective strategies and interventions designed to bridge the gap, such as community-based programs, technology-enhanced learning, and mixed-methods approaches. By analyzing case studies and best practices that have proven successful in similar contexts. The paper highlights the importance of comprehensive support systems involving educators, families, and communities. The findings suggest that targeted efforts in enhancing English language proficiency can significantly contribute to academic success and long-term socio-economic mobility for students from low-income families. The research proposes an English program for inclusive educational practices aimed at enhancing English language proficiency among low-income students. By addressing the systemic inequalities in education, this study aims to contribute to more equitable and effective language learning opportunities for all students, regardless of their socioeconomic status. Besides the work aims to promote equity in educational outcomes and provide a roadmap for sustainable improvement in English language proficiency.
