ELL0517

The purpose of the Adult ESOL program is to help adult English language learners (ELLs) achieve competence in reading, writing, speaking, and comprehension of the English language that leads to attainment of a secondary school diploma or its recognized equivalent, and/or to transition to postsecondary education and/or training or to gainful employment, as well as the ability to participate fully in the civic life in the United States. The program is designed for ELLs who are able to read and write in their native language or another language. ELLs who hold a postsecondary degree or other credential may enroll in the Adult ESOL Program if their placement test score is below the top score for exiting the program. The Adult ESOL Curriculum Framework has six levels that correlate to the Educational Functioning Levels (EFLs) of the National Reporting System (NRS). The curriculum framework consists of three parts: College and Career Readiness (CCR) standards for adult education, English Language Proficiency (ELP) standards for adult education, and Life and Work competencies. The High Intermediate Level is Level 5 High Intermediate on the FLDOE Curriculum Frameworks.
