English Language Learning
Approximately one third of the 200 adult learners in our literacy program are English language learners. Spanish is the native language of about 60% of our English language learners. However, our students come from all over the globe, including Pakistan, Taiwan, India, Israel, and Germany. All English language learners come with the same goal: to be able to understand and fluently speak English.
