Why not start your day with a friendly English lesson?

Intermediate ESL provides a safe place to learn about that crazy language known as English. We will listen, speak, read and write about living in the United States. We will learn new words, review the rules of grammar, and prepare for CASAS tests.

This practical course will help you ask better questions – and give better answers in English. We will talk, listen, and share our ideas with people from all over the world. We will read short articles about living in the United States. We will write short sentences about our lives. We will learn many new and practical words to use at work, home, on the bus, and at the shopping mall.

We will go slow, but we must keep moving forward. We will carefully review past lessons, make new “good mistakes”, and learn from our good mistakes. Quizzes and tests will help us measure our progress from week to week, and month to month.

All students are expected to participate in conversation activities and group discussions. Homework is strongly encouraged.
