The Computer Assisted English Language Learning program is designed to give adults whose first language is not English, the tools and foundation to communicate effectively in English. Various forms of technology are incorporated into the curriculum to enhance the classroom experience as well as giving students the opportunity to use different forms of media that they will use at work or in daily life. We provide our students with the necessary literacy and computer skills to function in their roles as learners,parents, workers, and consumers. The duration of the course is 20 weeks and is offered year round.
