ESL Department 180
Students registering for English as a Second Language (ESL) classes are placed according to their Reading
scores on the CASAS. The CASAS is used to track student progress from one level to another. In the
Advanced classes, students are given the Constitution Test and the Official GED Practice Tests, which help
to determine readiness for the GED Tests. Completion of the program may take anywhere from four
months to two years depending upon the entry level, number of contact hours, and attendance of the
student.
Beginning Literacy (CASAS 180 and below)
Students will use and understand phrases and the common vocabulary of personal information, the
classroom environment (basic questions and answers, and commands for use in the classroom), and life
skills such as expressing time, working with numbers and money, and activities of daily life (food, clothing,
transportation, weather, locations, and requesting emergency assistance).
Low Beginning (CASAS 181-190)
Students will learn to express their own abilities and personal needs (I can/cannot do, I need/want). They will
continue to gain competency in asking and responding to questions on familiar and some unfamiliar
subjects. Students will engage in limited conversations on a restricted topic (plans for the weekend,
shopping, illness). They will develop vocabulary and comprehension through short, non-fiction stories, and
will write grammatically correct simple sentences.
High Beginning (CASAS 191-200)
Students will describe their current life situations, describe places and feelings, use language to agree and
disagree, and compare things and ideas. They will also express their long-term goals and future
possibilities and make suggestions to one another by giving their opinions and advice. They will talk about
past events to practice irregular verb forms and will explain a process such as how to fill out an application
or how to pay a bill. Students will also express certainty/uncertainty, ask for clarification when they do not
understand, make requests and ask for permission, and connect ideas using because.
Low Intermediate (CASAS 201-210)
Adult Education Division
This program is partially funded by federal funds; exacting percentage of funds will vary annually depending on grant allocations.

Students will take control of their language learning process by taking the initiative rather than relying on
teacher directed activities. They will acquire greater confidence in speaking spontaneously and will assert
themselves in conversations (how to open a conversation using tag questions – “This bus is always late,
isn’t it?”). They will also learn the importance of intonation in relation to meaning. Students will
comprehend the main idea of difficult listening experiences, such as television news shows. They will hear,
evaluate, and use idiomatic expressions such as wait on tables, run out of gas, taking off shoes, don’t fool around.
They will also be exposed to normal or fast speech that contains reduced forms (lotsa, coudja, wanna).
Students will use the context or reading to define vocabulary, relying less on their bilingual dictionaries.
They will report in writing the content of their viewing, listening, and reading experiences and will learn to
check their writing for simple grammatical errors.
High Intermediate (CASAS 211-220)
Students will use different strategies to improve their English and will take the initiative to participate in
classroom activities. They will speak spontaneously, assert themselves in conversations, and use critical
thinking skills. They will use intonation and cadence patterns more accurately to express meaning. Students
will continue their exploration of more advanced forms of non-standard English (idioms, slang, and
colloquialisms). Students will also be able to understand and participate in more advanced group
discussions and interpersonal communications. They will define vocabulary in context, relying less on
bilingual dictionaries and more on monolingual English dictionaries. Students will comprehend the main
idea and specific details of difficult listening experiences (20/20, Dateline, 60 Minutes). They will write short
reports and/or summarize the contents of their viewing, listening, and reading experiences. They will revise
their writing for content and proofread for grammatical and mechanical errors.
Advanced ESL (CASAS 221-235)
Students will exhibit control of the conventions of English, take the initiative to participate in classroom
activities, and volunteer more readily. They will speak spontaneously, assert themselves in conversations,
and use critical thinking skills (given a topic, they easily participate in group discussions). Students will use
intonation and cadence patterns more accurately to express meaning. Students will comprehend the main
idea and specific details of difficult listening experiences, such as television new shows (20/20, Dateline/ 60
Minutes). They will continue their exploration of more advanced forms of non-standard English (idioms,
slang and colloquialisms). Students will also be able to understand and participate in more advanced group
discussions, interpersonal communication, and public speaking. They will increase the use of
advanced/academic reading material to define vocabulary in context, relying on monolingual English
dictionaries. Students will write summaries and reports of the content of their viewing, listening, and
reading experiences. They will revise their writing for content and proofread for grammatical and
mechanical errors. Students will develop skills in argumentation and persuasion. Interested students will
prepare for college curriculum.
