Summary

Framingham Adult English as a Second Language (ESL) Plus provided adult education services to improve the communication and literacy skills of English-language learners.

The program’s curriculum focused on real-world applications of the English language, such as talking about the weather or making phone calls. Participants in the intervention condition attended classes for 6 hours per week over a 15-week semester, in either the fall or spring. Classes were offered in morning and evening sessions at a local middle school or community center. The program served immigrants in Framingham, MA, who were learning English as a second language.
