Who We Serve

 

The ESL In-Home Program currently has 228 adult learners. Our learners, although majority are Latinos, are from countries all over the world such as China and Taiwan, Central and South America, Tibet, Europe, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Africa and the Middle East as well as American born, male and female, who are eager to learn or improve their English.  We also teach foreign exchange students who want to improve their English skills.

 

Some learners who come to the ESL In-Home Program speak two or three other languages and have advanced educational degrees. Others have no English speaking, reading nor writing skills. Learners are highly motivated to progress in their English skills.

 

Some of our students' goals are:

  • To become a U.S. Citizen
  • To obtain a GED
  • To communicate with children's teachers
  • To communicate with medical personnel
  • To find a job
  • To advance in their employment
  • Grandparents wishing to read stories in English to their grandchildren
  • Parents wanting to help with children's homework

 



Students are referred to the ESL In-Home Program by friends, relatives, libraries, neighbors, co-workers and state agencies. Many stay six months to one year until they can manage the language demands of their job and some continue until they can enter a community college or university.
