or over a quarter of a century, Albemarle Adult Education, in close cooperation with local community organizations, has provided quality educational services to area adults whose first language is not English. Through its long experience, Albemarle Adult Education has developed successful methodologies, curricula, community partnerships and a highly qualified staff.

The Web Project expanded from Albemarle County’s first English Literacy and Civics Education grant. The purpose of the grant was to integrate adult ESOL learners into the fabric of civic life in the United States. The Web Project accomplished this by offering students opportunities to research important aspects of local civic life, to share that information with each other while creating a product and, by creating a product, offer their knowledge to the greater ESOL community. The Web Project continues to evolve and move through phases of development, reaching more and more community members and creating teaching and learning experiences between all involved.

WEB PROJECT STUDENTS

Advanced level ESOL students representing fourteen countries researched, wrote and formatted the information found on this website. The students also planned, filmed and edited a Web Project DVD.
