The English classes for adults are presented at the workplace, making it possible for more workers to attend and thus become skilled in the most used business language of this country.

Not everyone can learn English quickly. Certain factors should be taken into consideration when setting up programs to help people learn English. We consider that native language of the learner. Since some languages are closer to the roots of English than others, we also assess the native language of the learner. Apart from that, you also have previous exposure to English. If a learner has never been taught the basics of the language, it goes without saying the course should start at the very basics. It is also however, important to help a person learn English at an advanced level if he or she already knows the basics. This sets our programs apart since the learner starts at the skills level where he or she is comfortable and can work from there. This makes progress quick ensuring a positive learning experience.

South Africa controls the majority of the world’s mineral wealth—90% of its platinum, 80% of its manganese, and half of its gold. The nation’s legendary diamond mines rank fourth among the world’s producers. Mining has always driven the South African economy and mineral exports are crucial to the country’s sustained economic growth. More than 450 000 people mine South Africa ’s minerals and nearly half-a-million more workers provide goods and services for the mining industry. The MQA is a SETA that works specifically to administer as well as assess ABET programs for miners and workers in mining’s allied industries. MQA boasts one of the highest retention and graduation rates among the nation’s SETAs. Developing English-language and mathematics skills, miners have emerged from Earth’s dark caverns to take places among the industry’s leaders because of standards administered in education in the mining industry by MQA.

The South African workforce arguably stands out as the world’s most ethnically diverse. The success of South Africa’s bold experiment in multi-cultural democracy depends, in large measure, on its success in developing common values, norms, and expectations among various elements in the workforce. Although South Africa wisely has adopted eleven “official” languages, sociologists emphasize the importance of common language in developing workplace culture. English communication remains the medium of power, prestige, and wealth. Whereas most South Africans recognize the value of advanced education as the means to upward social mobility, even more recognize how skill in English communication drives students and workers up the educational ladder. As the old expression goes, until workers master English communication, they will remain outside the boardroom with their noses pressed against the glass. When workers master English communication, board members will invite them in.

Because students readily learn to read and write when they have opportunities to use their new language skills in their work, basic adult English classes focus first on conversational workplace conversations. Working with corporate associates, professional educators and trainers who specialize in Basic English adult classes, develop curriculum according to everyday situations in the job site. Conversations develop interactions between supervisors and employees, or they build from common social situations, and vocabulary emphasizes professional jargon and common expressions used at the jobsite.

Basic English adult classes, although they focus on spoken language, nevertheless build simple command of phonics and they develop word recognition, the fundamentals of reading. Because rising English users are familiar with approximately ten times more spoken words than they can read, basic English adult classes capitalize on that familiarity to boost students’ vocabularies and lay the foundation for reading.
