ELL
CLASSES

Mary J. Treglia Community House offers both beginning and intermediate classes for English Language Learners. A fee is charged to cover class supplies and you may be given a placement test. Interested students should stop in to fill out a registration form.

Personal goals for education, citizenship, work, or career are important as each level gains confidence from a conversational approach. Connecting with other learners enhances the students’ experience in discussions of different cultures, customs, and lifestyles.

In class or at home, students also explore apps that best fit their level and style of learning. As we are able to expand, learning opportunities such as tutoring, field trips, and conversational enrichment are likely to be added. New students are always welcome!
