English Language Acquisition for Adults
The English Language Acquisition for Adults program creates opportunities for all members of our community to expand their potential through learning and teaching the English language.
ELAA students come from more than 70 countries and have educational levels that vary from college graduates to those who do not read and write in their native language. What they all have in common is a strong desire to improve their English to achieve their goals. Their motivation and energy drive our student-centered classes!
ELAA classes take place both online and in-person.
