ESL Program Rationale
Pre-Academic Track Rationale
Courses in the Pre-Academic track are designed for adult English language learners who need to improve their reading, writing and grammar skills in order to pursue their studies in U.S. colleges and universities and/or improve their employment prospects. Students will read and write extensively. They will learn to use reading strategies, increase their vocabulary, develop their ideas in writing, and edit for grammatical accuracy. Students will become familiar with the cultural norms and practices within U.S. academic contexts. These courses take a learner-centered, communicative approach and encourage students to develop the awareness and ability to direct their language learning.
General Communication Track Rationale
Courses in the General Communication track are designed for adult English language learners who need to improve their ability to communicate orally in everyday, social, academic, and professional situations within U.S. culture. Students will improve their fluency in speaking and increase their listening comprehension of conversational interactions and extended discourse. They will also develop their vocabulary and pronunciation skills. Classroom activities will simulate authentic communicative tasks relevant to students’ lives. Students will learn the necessary language to ask and answer questions, carry out daily tasks, understand audio broadcasts, and participate in conversations about personal history and current topics. These courses will help students develop strategies to extend their language learning outside of the classroom.
