VESL (Vocational English as a Second Language)

Impact on the Organization

Before starting ESL training, Quest usually conducts a brief assessment (written and oral) of the group to determine their current level and the amount of instruction required to get to the desired proficiency level. Depending on the number of people, the assessment can be conducted in two to three hours.

Program Description

Once we determine the number of hours of instruction, we usually schedule two two-hour sessions per week. We use a conversational method and the materials are geared towards English for employment. Our instructor is certified and credentialed to teach English. Also, he/she teaches management topics and understands the workplace setting.

For these programs to succeed, we find that the individuals must be committed to learning English. The most successful programs are mandatory and conducted on company time. Also, the company must provide reinforcement to the instruction. Supervisors and managers need to ask about the training and encourage the participants to use English when talking with them on the job.

Time Investment
