What Is Adult ESL Class Online (AECO)?
The Adult ESL Classroom Online (AECO) provides free quality language instruction for beginner-level English Language Learners (ELL) between CLB 3 and 4 who cannot attend regular in-class instruction due to physical or institutional barriers. In this course, clients participate in a 12-week, 30-hour online course, made up of a combination of classroom style webinars and self-directed activities delivered through the CIES web portal. Clients are expected to complete approximately 3 hours of instruction per week (including the half-hour webinar) and through guided activities and self-directed homework on the website, students improve their language proficiency areas with an emphasis on increasing their employability and digital literacy. Course content includes English soft-skill essentials like interview preparation, ways to access job markets, filling out applications, and more.
