Florida: Since 1999, Gainesville State College has hosted the Steps-to-College program for English language learners. The five-week program will draw to a close July 23, with roughly 130 students from Russia, Estonia, Korea, Poland, Vietnam, Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras and Colombia finishing with a half credit toward high school graduation. Karen Peters-Barker, a Steps-to-College program coordinator, said students from Gainesville High School joined students from Hall and Forsyth counties in taking one of eight courses in history or science taught by local high school teachers specifically for students who do not speak English as a first language.
