BBC and British Council resources are linked for study. Their videos, transcripts, worksheets, logos and other content retain their original copyright; WCE does not relicense or reproduce them.
A practical adult-learning approach
ESL100 prioritizes everyday communication, study and work tasks, listening, speaking, reading and writing. Community-college adult ESL programs, including MiraCosta College’s noncredit ESL program, provide useful examples of this approach. WCE ESL100 is an independent self-study course and is not affiliated with or approved by these providers.
