Students will practice speaking in English that will be helpful when talking in the supermarket, in stores and restaurants, at schools and meetings, as well as in talking with friends and neighbors. We will also discuss things we are reading and writing in English.  

In this beginner grammar and writing section, examples will be sent to students before each class. During class, after going over the examples with the teacher, students will be given multiple opportunities to practice writing using the grammar. 

In this teacher-guided class, students will meet to read and discuss a book at a level appropriate for intermediate ESOL students. It is expected that students will read on their own between classes and look up words or phrases with which they are not familiar. The teacher welcomes questions about anything the student does not understand.  Contact Elby for participation.

This class is for people who plan to take the United States citizenship test. The goal of the class is to have all the students in the class become citizens of the United States. There are weekly one-hour sessions for 5-6 weeks.

 To prepare for the test the two instructors will help students 1) understand the questions on the application to take the test;  2) study the questions about history, government, geography and national traditions that may be asked during the test;  3) practice the reading and writing sections of the test;  4) review conversational skills necessary to pass the test. The class is designed for active participation by the students and there is time each week to answer questions the students may have.

This class is for students who have some prior knowledge of English. Students will read about interesting topics and learn new vocabulary words.

To test their knowledge, students will answer comprehension questions and discuss the weekly topic as well as have time to practice using the new vocabulary words.

Learn to see through the eyes of an artist beginning with the fundamentals of drawing! Instructor Adrienne Hoffman will demonstrate the fundamentals of drawing as a precursor to developing the ability to draw and paint and will teach students to see with a new perspective.

This class will provides students with the opportunity to practice speaking English in a social setting along with other English language learners. Topics are suggested by both students and teacher, either one-on-one or in a larger group. The teacher will be present to help with vocabulary, pronunciation, or phrasing, as needed. The main goal is to feel comfortable and have fun speaking in English while getting to know other people who are also learning English.

Students will practice speaking in English that will be helpful when talking in the supermarket, in stores and restaurants, at schools and meetings, as well as in talking with friends and neighbors. We will also discuss things we are reading and writing in English. 

Plan to expand your everyday conversation skills using a wide array of activities and media sources.  You’ll be encouraged to expand your knowledge of language rules and vocabulary, and blend what you’ve learned into everyday conversation. Be prepared to learn and have some fun at the same time.
