RESOURCE ALERT! Meeting the Needs of ESL/ELL Students

Adult Education is tied to ESL/ELL in almost every program in the country.  AE Programs offer GED Prep, College and Career Readiness, and English as Second Language courses.  Oftentimes these students overlap.  As a teacher of the first two on this list, I am often looking for information on how to best serve those students who aren't native-English speakers. The following resource is one I have found helpful.  I agree with this quote,

"Preparing students in adult education for achieving their long-term goals as citizens, family members, and workers involves addressing agreed-upon career and college readiness skills. ELA instructors can do much to ease these transitions by emphasizing academic language, critical thinking, and more rigorous reading skills in our classrooms."
