Our Adult Education Program is designed to help adult learners improve their English and math skills in preparation for important standardized tests, such as the CASAS (Comprehensive Adult Student Assessment Systems) or the TABE-2 (Test of Adult Basic Education). These tests are often required for employment, further education, or career advancement, and our program aims to equip learners with the skills and confidence needed to succeed.
The English component of the program focuses on improving key areas such as reading, writing, listening, and speaking. We understand that each learner comes with different strengths and weaknesses in language skills, so the courses are tailored to meet individual needs.
Reading Comprehension: Learners will practice reading texts of various lengths and topics, ranging from short passages to longer articles, and learn strategies to understand the main idea, identify supporting details, and make inferences. Understanding context clues and vocabulary building are also key areas of focus to help learners improve their reading skills for the test.
Writing Skills: Writing is another crucial aspect of the program. Students will work on writing clear and organized essays, which is an important part of standardized tests like the CASAS and TABE-2. They will learn to structure essays, use proper grammar, and improve sentence and paragraph formation. Grammar, punctuation, and spelling are also reinforced throughout the course.
Listening and Speaking: This section helps learners improve their ability to understand spoken English and communicate effectively. Activities may include listening to audio recordings, following instructions, and engaging in classroom discussions or presentations. These skills are especially useful in both the test setting and everyday communication.
The math portion of the program helps learners improve their understanding of basic arithmetic, algebra, and problem-solving skills, which are essential for success on tests like the TABE-2. Students will build confidence through practice exercises and interactive lessons.
Basic Arithmetic: Learners will review fundamental operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. These skills are necessary for solving problems in real-life situations, like budgeting, shopping, and managing finances.
Fractions, Decimals, and Percentages: Understanding fractions, decimals, and percentages is crucial for both the test and everyday tasks. The program includes exercises to help learners convert between fractions, decimals, and percentages, as well as solve problems involving these concepts.
Algebra: For learners aiming for more advanced tests, our program covers basic algebraic concepts such as solving for unknowns, simplifying expressions, and working with equations. These skills are necessary for higher-level tests and for many job opportunities that require problem-solving abilities.
Word Problems: Word problems help learners apply math concepts to real-world situations. The program includes practice in translating written problems into mathematical equations and solving them step-by-step.
In addition to improving English and math skills, the program also offers specific preparation for standardized tests like the CASAS or TABE-2. Learners will take practice tests to familiarize themselves with the format, timing, and types of questions they will encounter. This practice helps build confidence and reduces test anxiety.
The program includes test-taking strategies, such as:
Our Adult Education Program is designed to be flexible and supportive, allowing learners to progress at their own pace.
