CILIA-T Curriculum: U.S. Civics & History

CILIA-T stands for Content-Integrated Language Instruction for Adults with Technology Support. It’s an open-access, 16-module, standards-aligned* curriculum that integrates knowledge-building in civics, U.S. history, and government with academic English language and digital skills instruction and critical thinking.

The target audience includes intermediate-advanced ELLs, pre-GED, and GED learners.

While it is not a tool directly aligned to citizenship coursework, much of the content serves as a useful supplement when preparing for naturalization. Aside from an introductory module and final review module, each module consists of ~6-8 hours of instruction material.

CILIA-T cultivates a classroom environment where adult learners can share and build on their immense personal experience as global citizens in partnership with their classmates.
