English Language Learners (ELL)
Our ELL classes aim to assist non-native English speakers in communicating fluently and effectively in the language. Our instruction is highly personalized, using digital assessment data and conversation labs to provide fundamental skills required for mastering English. Our program covers reading, writing, listening, and speaking, and it is tailored to meet the needs of non-English-speaking individuals.
Guadalupe Center’s Adult Education program offers four 12-week sessions of ELL classes per year. The first 2 weeks cover Digital Literacy and computer familiarity; the following 10 weeks are the ELL Curriculum program. Our program provides extensive one-on-one support, supplemental skills-building workshops, and wrap-around services via our workforce coaches. Our program is open for learners 18 years of age and older.
