Hello, Everyone,

My name is Pam Ferguson and I'm an ESL instructor and department chair
of
Basic Skills (ESL & ABE) at Yakima Valley Community College in Yakima,
Washington.  How great to have our work in transitions here at YVCC
referenced in the Assessments Resources!

    Torchlights in ESL: Five Community College Profiles
    See Yakima Valley Community College for description of how the ESL
and
ABE/ASE faculty collaborate

Please note, if you read this publication, that NRS levels for ESL have
changed since this report was written.  Old NRS levels were ESL Levels
1-5
and YVCC started transitioning students in Levels 4 and 5, with
concurrent
enrollment in both ESL and ABE classes.  Now, with the NRS changes to
ESL
Levels 1-6, YVCC starts transitioning ESL students in Levels 5 & 6.  So,
essentially, it's the same practice with different level numbers.

Thanks for your consideration!

Pam Ferguson
