The materials are based on the "GED" adult upgrading curriculum for English skills. You can view the Skill List for a summary of what is covered in these tutorials.
This is the page node being used by the WikiEducator Community to wikify the resources. A group of educators from West Africa are working collaboratively to recontextualise the materials.
