This competency-based course is the first in a series of seven courses designed to develop communicative competence in listening, speaking, reading, writing, critical thinking, and numeracy for the immediate needs of adult English learners at a basic level.
The course content will lay the foundation for life skills, higher education, job training, workforce entry, career advancement, and job transitioning.
A grammatical structure base is integrated with the course competencies.
The course content will be relevant to the lives of individual students and reflect the Comprehensive Adult Student Assessment System (CASAS) and English Language Civics (EL Civics) competencies as well as College and Career Readiness Standards (CCRS).
