ESL (English as a Second Language) at EBIC
Immigrants and refugees in the United States are confronted with the challenges of living in a new culture. Adjustment to a new country and culture is especially difficult for adults who have limited knowledge of English.
The ESL Ministry at EBIC offers English classes at several levels of proficiency to adults learning English as a new, second, or other language. Classes will help prepare adults to function in English when engaging in the community as students, workers, parents, and citizens.
Classes range from Introduction to Literacy through Advanced/Pre-GED. All new students receive placement testing and interviews to help determine grade level. Classes serve not only as a place to learn English and to get acquainted with others, but also, throughout this process, to learn and discuss about health, work, shopping, how to access educational opportunities, community services, etc.
ESL instructors and support staff are volunteers working together to glorify God. As committed followers of Jesus, we desire to serve our community. We seek to teach, inspire, and encourage all involved—not only to improve skills in English and cultural literacy but also to respond to God's work in the lives of all with whom we come in contact.
