Learning English Together
Online and In-person classes and groups
English as a Second Language (ESL) Classes
In this program, adults will work to improve their English listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills through activities and tailored lessons for each level. The classes will introduce conversational English, target vocabulary development, and basic reading and writing. These classes focus on helping individuals develop those skills to gain employment, progress in their education, improve digital literacy, help their children in school, or pursue other life opportunities.
