Contextualized ESOL
Objective
Upcoming Program Details
QARI's contextualized ESOL programs include Family Literacy and Workforce ESOL classes.
Compared to our traditional ESOL classes, each of these contextualized programs is designed to prepare students for specific pathways, whether that is getting familiarized with the US public school system, or preparing to find and keep jobs in specific workforce sectors. These classes will focus on teaching and practicing vocabulary and conversational phrases relevant to the specific pathways.
Registration for Family Literacy and Workforce ESOL is OPEN till December 13, 2024!
The family literacy program, delivered in partnership with Quincy Public Schools, provides immigrant parents with the combination of English and parenting skills that they need to be engaged parents in a new environment. Class competencies include:
- Navigating public schools: Parents learn the importance of reading with children at home, develop a stronger understanding of the US education system, and learn how to be more directly involved in their children's education.
- English skills: The English curriculum is designed with parents’ needs in mind: parents learn to write letters to teachers, call about absences, and ask meaningful questions about their child's performance.
- Involvement: This program takes parents out of the classroom and into the community, from school assemblies to story time at the library to Parent Advisory Council and PTO meetings.
