 ENGLISH LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION & CITIZENSHIP PREPARATION
 
 

Diseñado para el adulto principiante, NLEI ofrece varios niveles de clases de ESL, sin importar los antecedentes  educativos. Los cursos  proporcionan la enseñanza en la lectura y las matemáticas diseñada para los adultos que nunca han asistido  a la escuela y para los estudiantes que su principal lenguaje  es  otro  aparte del  inglés. Las clases de la ciudadanía también se ofrecen dentro de este programa y ayudan a los estudiantes  adquirir  conocimiento básico en la Constitución de los E.E.U.U. y su  historia. Los integradores  de ESL tienen la capacidad de avansar  a los cursos de la preparación del  GED, a las clases  vocacionales individuales, y a los entrenamientos vocacionales  postsecundarios que proporcionaran la fundación educativa necesaria para obtener  y para mantener  carreras  estables y significativas.

2  LITERACY PATHWAYS
Literacy Pathways is designed to bridge the gap between the ESL Advanced Intermediate level and further educational and employment pursuits. Designed for the advanced adult ESL learner, the curriculum incorporates industry-specific life skills into the learning experience, such as healthcare, finances, the U.S. educational system, and exam taking skills. This program allows students to not just learn English but also learn about situations relevant to their everyday lives that will assist them to make crucial decisions for themselves and their families’ futures.
2  PRE-VOCATIONAL TRAINING
These programs build a solid foundation in communication, academic skills, and PC applications for successful entry into higher levels of workforce training and/or securing employment.
