English Language Learning

Our award-winning programs and services include English conversation groups, Book Clubs, and other resources designed for adult English Language learners. 

Conversations in English

Join this friendly, informal conversation group to practice your English and connect with others. A native-English speaker guides conversations on relevant, everyday topics like family, work, school, sports, and daily life. All levels of experience and ability are welcome.

ESL Book Club

Discuss multicultural books with other ESL students twice per month in a supportive learning environment. We read a single book over the course of several sessions to provide lots of time to read and discuss the book. This group is for intermediate to advanced English speakers.
