 Adult Learning Skills Program General Education Development Program The General Education Development Program is designed to prepare the student (English or Spanish speaking) to pass the GED examination, the equivalent of a high school diploma. Although Olive Harvey South Chicago Campus offers GED preparatory instruction, the Educational Testing Services (ETS) administers the actual GED examination at testing sites located throughout the city and the surrounding suburbs. The GED certificate is issued by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE). Students that are interested in taking the official GED test should contact a college advisor to make necessary arrangements for the next GED test date. Adult Basic Education (ABE) Program The Adult Basic Education Program (ABE) is designed to help students with limited reading or mathematics skills improve their reading, writing, speaking and basic mathematic abilities. Students enrolling in the Adult Basic Education (ABE) Program are given the Tests of Adult Basic Education (TABE) to determine the student's reading and mathematics grade equivalent. The student is then placed in the appropriate level. English as a Second Language (ESL) Program This three level Program is designed to assist the student in becoming more proficient in speaking, understanding, reading and writing the English language. This program is focused primarily towards non-English speaking students. Students registering for an English as a Second Language (ESL) class are given the Basic English Skills Test (BEST) and the Comprehensive English Language Skills Assessment (CELSA) to assess the student's pre-class English language skills. Course placement is determined by these test results and oral reviews. The Citizen Preparation Program The South Chicago Campus offers the Citizen Preparation Program. This program is designed to assist the student who wishes to become a citizen of the United States in preparing to take the USA Naturalization Examination. The Citizenship Program incorporates materials such as: Federal, State and Local Government, English vocabulary, the U.S. Constitution, U.S. history and the Naturalization process. Literacy: English or Spanish The Literacy program is available in both English and in Spanish. The Literacy Program is designed for the student with little or no reading and writing abilities to become proficient in these basic skills.
