Evaluation of the FOCAL SKILLS Pilot ESL Program at Golden West College (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) |
 | | Since the study at Golden West is one of the first, the results are not yet as meaningful as they may become when further studies are performed. |
 | | In his report on the study, the author begins with an introduction containing some of the background of the ESL program at Golden West as well as some of the history of the Focal Skills approach, the theory behind it, and the way in which it was implemented at Golden West College. |
 | | The Golden West study modified that time frame to fit their semester, so that a nine-week Listening module was followed by a nine-week Reading module for the Fall semester, with a similar set-up for Writing and Immersion in the Spring semester. |
