Abstract

Service-learning is gaining momentum in secondary and higher educational settings; however, it has only been used sporadically, if at all, in programs designed to increase proficiency in English among English as a Second Language (ESL) community college-level learners. Based on a teaching and learning experience that infused a service-learning project into a community college ESL course curriculum, Elwell and Bean explain Elwell's facilitation of the service-learning component for ESL students in an intermediate-level reading class. The authors also discuss the tangible benefits that the ESL students reaped as a result of participating in the service-learning project.
