Course Description
The ever-increasing language demands in education and the workforce can be particularly challenging for adult ELLs, many of whom may have low literacy levels, limited formal schooling, and limited English language skills. The purpose of this brief continuing education course, developed using information from the U.S. Department of Education, is to provide an overview of the need for increased rigor in all English language acquisition programs and to present a broad overview of considerations for connecting ELA to career pathways. Models designed to strengthen the alignment of adult education, employment, and skills training are discussed as well as the skills that ELLs need to succeed at work and in postsecondary education. The course also includes a broad overview of digital literacy as it relates to adult English language learners (ELLs) in English language acquisition programs.
