Curriculum Guide, Index, and Matrix for IRCA ESL Programs.
Comprehensive Adult Student Assessment System Consortium.
This package consists of a curriculum guide, index, and matrix for English as a second language (ESL) programs supported by the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA). The curriculum guide contains the following components: (1) an IRCA competency list for ESL beginning- and intermediate-level courses that integrates ESL and civics competencies (basic communication, consumer economics, community resources, health, occupational knowledge, and government and law); (2) a list of Comprehensive Adult Student Assessment System (CASAS) competencies for ESL/civics; (3) an IRCA bibliography; and (4) CASAS scale scores and brief descriptions of ESL instruction at the beginning and intermediate levels. The curriculum index and matrix is divided into two sections. Section 1, the curriculum index, lists publishers, their mailing addresses, and their materials that are included in the IRCA curriculum matrix. Section 2 links the information provided in Section 1 to the CASAS competencies. All entries include information about the following: publisher, topic covered, instructional program for which the material is intended, and level of instruction. (MN)
