ESOL
PROGRAM
English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), sometimes called
English as a Second Language (ESL), is taught to immigrants who need to
learn English or improve their English language skills to live and work
in the United States.
The ESOL program pairs a trained tutor with a student wishing to learn
English or to improve his or her speaking and comprehension of English.
The Literacy Council of Sarasota's volunteers work one-on-one with
each student. Thus, the Council is able to customize teaching to
individual needs, providing a unique focus on enabling students to
function better within the frameworks of their own life situations.
Increasing English language skills will improve the learners'
potential for employment and enable effective communication, greatly
increasing their quality of life and their ability to be
contributing members of the community. The ESOL program also provides
small group instruction.
