ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE
Few if any of the newly arrived immigrants and refugees speak English as their first language, and many arrive with only minimal fluency. Nevertheless, almost all are eager to learn. ESL classes offer the assessment, instruction, and encouragement these students require to develop skills they already possess.
Students are divided into three levels: beginning, intermediate, and advanced. Volunteers should choose which level they are most comfortable teaching. Volunteers should be open to sharing faith during lessons. Classes are offered Monday, 5:30-7:00 p.m.; Friday, 10:00 a.m.-12:00 noon; Saturday, 9:00-11:00 a.m. Volunteers are not expected to come all 3 days.
