ESL Classes
Each Monday , from 8:00am -11:00am , ESL classes are held at the Hope Career Center.
ESL - English as a second language is English for use in an English-speaking region, by someone whose first language is not English. These classes help individuals to learn the English language, allowing them to be better prepared to successfully complete school and compete in the workforce.
ESL Grammar is important because the U.S. Census Bureau has projected that by the 2030s, ESL students will comprise 40 percent of the school-age population. The population of ESL students in public schools has grown exponentially since 1979. In 2006, the University of Houston Center on Instruction reported that by 2003, there were nearly 10 million ESL students, an increase of 169 percent from 1979-2003. The group Advocates for Children of New York reported in 2002 that academic achievement and graduation rates of ESL students were poor, with drop out rates as high as 50 percent in 2001. Teachers in the United States are now searching for the best ways to build fluency and accuracy in the English language so that ESL students will learn, graduate and find jobs at the same rate as the native-speaking population.
