Introduction
Welcome, educators!
Thank you for bringing CILIA-T into your classrooms. (You can access the materials by using the Contents drop-down menu on the upper left-hand side or the Previous/Next buttons at the bottom).
CILIA-T (Content-Integrated Language Instruction for Adults with Technology Support) is a research-based, standards-aligned academic English language curriculum for adults focused on U.S. history, government and civics content, integrated with digital literacy skill instruction. The content was designed by experienced adult educators currently teaching and working in the field, with the many unique needs and strengths of our learners in mind.
