Children thrive when their parents, grandparents, nannies, or childcare providers can communicate effectively and meet their needs. By taking ESL courses centered on children, adult learners can practice language skills and communication strategies that allow them to use English more proficiently at school, childcare, or home. Presenters describe an integrated skills program helping adults develop practical vocational and academic language skills that can lead to certificates, degrees, and employment. Participants examine program set-up and interactive classroom activities from high beginning to low advanced, all focused on the context of children, their care and development.
