Dottie, 
If you want this information for the non-credit portion of our community college I can answer these questions.  We have credit and non-credit classes.  For which would you like the information?

Adult ESL instructors in community colleges --

For the LOWEST SKILL LEVEL (Level 0 or whatever you call it):
1.  How long are your class sessions & how many days/week?

2.  How many weeks are the courses, semesters or whatever?

3.  How many days/week can students attend?

4.  Can students enroll in more than one section of the same course? (Ex.:
if classes meet M/W &             T/Th, may students enroll in BOTH
sections?)

5.  What curriculum or text do you use?

6.  Who decides/chooses the curriculum/text?

7.  Is the EXACT same course (same # hours, text) offered to both morning &
evening sections?

8.  If a different # of hours is offered in one time slot than another
(Ex.:  4 days X 2hrs/day in the                 morning; 2 days X 2hrs/day
in the evening), IS IT THE SAME COURSE?

I'm trying to re-examine (re-define ?) my professional stance on these
items as my dept. makes some changes with which I'm not comfortable -- for
myself or my students.

Thanks, DRS  (NC)
