Here's the question. It concerns the Adult ESL and EFL programs here on our community college campus. In the Adult ESL program, we serve refugees and newly arrived immigrants. However, visitors often attend these classes as well. We are now developing new courses for nominal fees where tourists and advanced ESL learners (who are not interested in the academic program) can learn English, but not "take the seats" of those who are entitled to categorical funds for free classes in the Adult ESL program. The question is where the cut off should occur for students in Adult ESL. Should we have a cut off level, perhaps after intermediate, where those in the free program enter the "for fee" programs, whether academic or self-supporting? What about the refugee entitled to free English courses who comes in at an advanced level? We are seeking to work out an articulation plan with the academic ESL program here on campus as well as the new area that will be providing "self-supporting" courses (those for nominal fees). Hoping to hear from those of you who have several different programs on your campus and are tackling this articulation question. Thanks.
