ESL Computer Literacy
The purpose of this course is to equip
ABE/ESL students with the computer skills needed to make a successful transition
from ABE to higher academic studies at the community college level. This course
will impart a foundational knowledge of the computer and its usage. It will
instruct students in how to type, navigate the Windows environment, compose
basic word processing documents, and use an Internet browser. It will increase a
student’s confidence in working with computers and boost their ability to
perform well on computer-based tests. ESL subjects are integrated into most of
the lessons to promote improved language competency in reading, writing or
listening. http://www.literacynet.org/nvesl/
