Hello,

We developed a new category of learners ... Transition ... for our very
Advanced ESL learners. We used to put them in our ABE materials, but
found
that they were too cultural specific and didn't provide the necessary
work
in vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, etc.

We use NorthStar: Speaking and Listening as the text. The level is
determined by the ABE TABE.
