Instruction and Classroom Support Tech 1 - ELL

Green River College's English Language Learning program for immigrants and refugees is part of the college's Adult Basic Education Program and is administered in cooperation with the Office of Adult Literacy of the State of Washington. The purpose of the ELL program is to build the basic English skills of students so they can function successfully in their current and future roles as family members, employees, community members, and students in a degreed program. Our philosophy is one of respect and interest in all cultures, ethnic and racial groups. Our goal is to acculturate our students in the American educational system, and to foster self-directed life-long learners.
