Goal
To assist English language learners (ELLs) with the advancement of their oral, auditory, reading and writing skills.
Structure
Each class will be limited to 15 students. There will be levels Pre-Basic, Basic, Intermediate and Advanced. Students will be placed in a level after submitting an application, being accepted into the program and taking the placement test. At the end of the term, students will be evaluated to see if they have mastered the skills of the level in an acceptable manner to be passed to the next level. If they have not mastered the level materials, the student may take the same level again.
If a student advances through the final level, he/she will receive a certificate of completion of the online prep course.
