English Classes

For over 13 years, we have offered free ESL classes to our community. With the support of the SHCC staff the program has been run by qualified volunteers. The classes are twice a week.

ESL curriculum includes:

1.Beginning - Students with limited understanding of English develop listening comprehension, reading, speaking and simple conversation skills needed to function in day-to-day adult situations.

2.Advanced Beginning/Intermediate - The emphasis is on developing greater fluency and oral communication as well as reading and writing skills. The focus also includes listening, pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary development.  

3.Conversation - Expand oral language skills and refine reading and writing skills.  The emphasis is on conversation.
