This program assists adults who speak a language other than English to acquire skills in reading and speaking English. Although other language groups are represented, Spanish-speakers compose more than 90% of the ESL classes. Bilingual Spanish/English speaking staff are available for Spanish speakers. Resource people from the community are available for non-Spanish speaking English language learners.

 

In order to meet the work and family schedules of ESL students, classes are offered evenings. The evening classes, which are larger, are divided into beginning and advanced levels. Students typically attend two, 3-hour classes per week. Additional classes are offered during the winter months when more students are available to attend.
