Our ESL program is offered year-round in two increments: 10 weeks during the school year and 5 weeks over the summer. Twice a week, native English speaking and bilingual instructors gather with our clients to teach conversational English in context-focused classes. Classes emphasize social interaction and language skills for specific situations in a safe learning environment. Clients practice language useful for job-seeking and managing other life tasks. This runs hand-in-hand with our citizenship and naturalization classes that focus on American history, government, and social studies. Classes help students learn English to improve vocabulary and daily communication. In addition, students will have the opportunity to gain a better understanding about the American culture. Additionally, in our citizenship class, Vietnamese refugees, immigrants, and Vietnamese Americans assist with the application process, citizenship test and interview, while also strengthening their English skills.  The 10-week citizenship classes provide practical instruction in order to pass citizenship exams. Topics will vary, tailored to match the needs of the participants, and will include American history and government, civics and social responsibility. Each class provides at least one native English speaker and one bilingual English and Vietnamese speaker with clients, placing an emphasis on conversation practice and social interaction. Volunteer tutors serve as facilitators to help each client reach their particular goals.
