Starting on August 6^th, we will begin offering a virtual English Language Conversational program on Thursday nights at 7:00 PM on Zoom.

This program is designed for English language learners who want to practice conversational English in a group. The program is intended for ages 13 and up, and will require registration. To register, visit our calendar and find the English Language Class. Once you are registered, you will receive a confirmation email with the Zoom link.

This is a conversation-based program focused on practicing reading skills and speaking skills including pronunciation and new vocabulary, as well as specific grammar rules upon request.

Our Tween Librarian, Miss Jessica, will be hosting this program. Miss Jessica has a degree in Spanish as well as two years of experience as an English teacher in Spain. Each week, Miss Jessica will allow participants to guide the conversation depending on the skills they want to practice.

In addition to this program, we also provide cardholders with access to online resources such as Brainfuse HelpNow, Colorín Colorado, and Mango Languages. With Brainfuse HelpNow, students can get live tutoring help for ESL. Brainfuse HelpNow also offers a comprehensive library that covers a range of beginning to advanced ESL topics.

Colorín Colorado provides free research-based ESL information, activities, and advice to parents, schools, and communities. Mango Languages provides language learning experiences with step-by-step lesson plans for 71 different languages, as well as English lessons for over 16 languages along with a text translator.
