The Adult ESOL Program provides basic adult literacy, English language and life-skills instruction to county residents whose native language is not English. The goal of the program is to provide students with the English language proficiency to learn to read and succeed in life and work.
Classes are divided into several ability levels from beginning literacy to academic English. Students learn English through a variety of methods and materials utilizing workbooks, videos, presentations, and computer software. Classes focus on speaking, reading, writing, and listening in English along with American culture and life-skills lessons.
ESOL classes are available during the following time periods:
- Monday – Friday 9:00 AM – 12:30 PM and/or 1:00 PM – 4:15 PM
