English Language Acquisition

The English Language Acquisition classes provide students with a working knowledge of English in preparation for citizenship tests, the workplace, additional education, and daily living.

Our classes include English language skills instruction, workforce preparation, and civics/citizenship education.

Register for classes by completing the form to the right or call 844-322-4235 for more information. We will send you an email with more information about orientation.

Classes are conducted in a small classroom style to allow students the chance to receive individual attention from their instructor and tutors. Students studying English will also participate in cultural and social activities in the community. Students take the class with a range of experience. Some students need help preparing to enter college, while others are looking to improve their English for travel, and for social or employment purposes.

English Language Acquisition classes can improve a student’s skills in:

• Conversational English
• Grammar
• Reading
• Listening Comprehension
• Writing
• Vocabulary

Before you begin classes you must first complete an orientation along with TABE assessments. The TABE assessments identify which skills you have mastered and what still needs to be learned to reach your goal. This will save you time in the classroom so that you do not have to study 100% of the skills needed, just those you have not mastered.

Free English language classes.
