Adult Education Partnership
The Taunton Adult Education Partnership provides a full continuum of ABE (Adult Basic Education)
and ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages)

Free Classes


Classes are offered part-time days and evenings at no cost to the participants. This is a Massachusetts Department of Education grant funded program.

Meaningful Assessments


All students wishing to enroll in the program receive an initial placement screening to assess their basic reading, writing, math, and language ability.

Small Classes


Class size is purposely small (7-15) to allow students and teachers the opportunity to interact more on an individual or small group basis. Attendance and commitment are prerequisites to success in the program.

Standards Based Instruction


Students in both the day and evening sections receive instructions guided by the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks for ABE and ESOL classes from dedicated instructors.

What Is?

ABE
ABE or Adult Basic Education provides classroom instruction from basic literacy through GED preparation. Subjects include all those required for the GED testing. Literacy classes emphasize reading, phonics, writing, and math. All students are given an assessment test to determine their level of competency for class placement.

ESOL
ESOL or English for Speakers of Other Languages provides classroom instruction for beginners through advanced levels. Instruction includes conversation, grammar, writing, American culture and traditions. Each student is assessed to determine understanding of the English language before placement in a class. Students are placed in classes according to their speaking and comprehension abilities.
