Community Experiences

Adults learning English can use this book to build vocabulary and reading skills while learning how to take part in daily life in their communities. Its lessons show readers how to work with local services such as schools, the housing market, the health care system, and public libraries, and explain why each one matters.

The book suits several kinds of classes. Teachers can use it as the main text in an adult course focused on civics for English learners, or as a civics-based supplement to a secondary ESL language arts program. It can also add to a standard ESL or ELD basal series. This edition is the teacher's guide, written to accompany the student book.
