English Language

& Communication

Every lesson and activity Real Life carries out gives
youth practice and exposure to using English.
Lessons specifically addressing communication and
listening strategies are also carried out and were often
integrated into the context of preparing for success
in joining the workforce or getting into college.
These lessons include team building and problem
solving, healthy communications, career exploration,
decision-making, anger management, anti-bullying,
and stress management activities.
