Description
Multi-level ESL classes are offered on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, from 9:30am to 11:45am. Childcare is provided through age 5, and transportation help is available depending on location and available personnel.
Classes run from September through early June and roughly follow the Beaverton School District schedule. New students may join at any time, and placement tests are available on Fridays during the term.
There is an annual $40 registration fee which covers student books, after which classes are free.
We offer something for all levels, from pre-literate to advanced. From learning the alphabet and survival English, to working on fluency and understanding American colloquial speech, our classes have been formulated to fit your needs.
Classes are divided into two hour-long modules, each focusing on a different aspect of language learning. The first hour focuses on reading/writing, and the second on speaking/listening.
