This Practice and Policy Brief is part of the Remote Adult ESOL1 Project led by World Education, Inc. The goal of the work was to document and disseminate viable, remote models and practices for how adult ESOL instruction can be done at scale efficiently and effectively in varied settings. Its impetus was to uncover strategies for meeting the current unmet interest in and demand for ESOL instruction, as well as meeting potential demand prompted by English language requirements for U.S. citizenship under immigration reform. According to 2018 American Community Survey data, there are 11.4 million adults who speak English less than very well in the United States, and only a fraction of them are participating in ESOL classes.
World Education strives to build lasting relationships with partners across diverse geographic regions and technical sectors to produce better education outcomes for all.
