ENGLISH AND ADULT LITERACY
Meet Alejandro, an ELL participant since 2016
and his teacher Ron.
Learn about our Norwalk Community College collaboration.
Census data indicate that most new immigrants lack English language skills, a fact that hinders their integration into the community and creates a critical issue as they seek living wage employment.
English Language Learning instruction (ELL) is one of the main programs at B1C. We offer 4 levels of ELL, from beginner to conversational, and also provide English and Spanish literacy for adults who would like to learn to read/write, and English practice for the US Citizenship test. Dedicated volunteers provide all English language instruction at the center.
Adults wishing to take our ELL classes should come to the center 30 minutes before the first class to register and take an exam for ELL level placement. After attending 20 sessions, students’ English language skills are reassessed, and they may move up one or more levels.
We also offer tutoring sessions where students can work in smaller groups on specific subjects.
HOW IT WORKS
1.
Come to our center for an
English language test.
2.
Attend classes at your level
or tutoring sessions.
3.
We will re-test your ELL level
after 20 lessons.
