ESOL and GED Adult Education Class Update
The purpose of the Letter to Commission is to update you on the status of our partnership with
Miami Beach Adult and Community Education Center to provide free English for Speakers of
Other Languages (ESOL) and General Education Development (GED) classes to Miami Beach
residents. Residents may now enroll directly on the school website at
www.miamibeachadult.com to avail themselves of this valuable opportunity for the Fall 2020
semester. Specific information on access is available on the attached flyers.
The English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) course is designed to provide English
language and literacy instruction for English language learner adults whose first language is
other than English and who are non-literate or semi-literate in their home language, in order to
increase their ability to communicate in English. The instructional focus is to prepare adult
learners to use English for entering the career and technical and/or postsecondary education,
employment, and participation in civic life.
The GED course of instruction prepares students for academic and personal success through
obtaining the necessary skills required to pass the official GED test and earn a State of Florida
High School Diploma. This program strives to motivate students not only to obtain the diploma
but also to utilize the acquired skills in the workforce and to achieve career and job placement
success.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Dr. Leslie Rosenfeld, Chief Learning and
Development Officer.
