Overview

North Shore Community College in Massachusetts has found success in working with underprepared, non-native speaking students by implementing a career mapping and language support model which fosters student achievement and college degree attainment. This webinar will highlight some of the strategies used to support and retain underprepared adult students including abbreviated ESL testing, contextualized workshops and ESL classes, bi-lingual prep class and study groups, 'chunking', acceleration of college courses and the use of career maps to enhance academic advising.
