English as a Second Language - ESL

English as a Second Language

The English as a Second Language (ESL) program teaches conversational English, reading, writing, and speaking to adults whose native language is not English. Leveled classes are delivered by highly trained instructors who use research-based curriculum. The main objective is to improve learners’ English communication skills, imparting practical, everyday information, and expanding their understanding of our community and the United States.

Many students enter the program with goals of obtaining employment, promotions, or U.S. Citizenship, going to the doctor without a translator, understanding bills or documents, or helping a child succeed in school. Through GLC’s student centered approach, students are able to acquire knowledge and skills to be better family members, employees, and active partners in the education of their children and members of society.
