Education / Pedagogy / student history by subject area
English term or phrase: EL
¿A qué se refieren estas siglas? Estoy traduciendo un certificado analítico en el que ay muchas siglas de materias. En donde dice "subject area" aparecen siglas como AG / FL / AL / EN / WH que según entiendo sería Agriculture/ Foreign Language/ Algebra /English /World History respectivamente y después el nombre del curso, pero después aparece EL (que no sé si puede ser English Language) refiriéndose a cursos en los que se dicta Earth and Space Science / Weight trainng / Driver Education Class and Laboratory en los que no creo que "English Language" tenga nada que ver.

Spanish translation:cursos opcionales
Explanation:
Given your explanation of the context, this would seem to be the meaning. The reference is to a group of courses, not all of which are required as part of the students curriculum: in other words, the student may choose or *elect* to take one or more of the courses within this group of courses.

Suerte.
