Abstract:
This report (Working Paper #7) describes the role of community colleges in providing adult English as a second language (ESL) services. It defines ESL and explains how adult ESL differs from other adult education programs as well as developmental education programs offered at community colleges. The challenges faced by community colleges in expanding services to meet the needs of the diverse ESL population are also considered.
