    Description
    A course for speakers with little or no oral or written competency and limited L1 literacy. Students will learn literacy skills that will build a foundation for further ESL training or to form a foundation for their ability to operate within the U.S. culture. Literacy skills include the development of fine motor skills, the ability to follow a line of print from left to right, and the identification of alphabetic, numeric, and time symbols. Included will be instruction in culturally appropriate Non-verbal communication, greetings and farewells, basic social skills, school conduct, courtesies, etc. This course will provide basic literacy foundation for L2 learners so they may operate in their home and their immediate environment.
