Title:	Passing the torch: Strategies for innovation in community college ESL
Source:	http://www.caalusa.org/eslpassingtorch226.pdf
Date:	2007
Organization:	Council for Advancement of Adult Literacy
Short Description:	This report offers an in-depth look into several community college ESL programs, with a focus on “non-credit ESL.”
Annotation:	This report offers an in-depth look into several community college ESL programs, with a focus on “non-credit ESL.” The study examines a rich variety of innovative and successful programs and strategies in use in these institutions – and considers them in terms of generating learning gains, retaining students, and bringing about transitions to further education. The paper also examines the ins and outs of this activity in a way that gives those providing adult ESL service a menu of ideas and concrete suggestions for their own program improvement purposes.
