English-As-A-Second-Language Classes Begin at Bernardsville Library

Bernardsville Public Library’s next session of English-As-A-Second-Language (ESL) classes will begin on Monday, September 11. Classes will be offered on Mondays and Thursdays at both 3:00 pm and 7:15 pm and will run for ten sessions (through November 16). Thursday evening classes will be held in the Bernards High School Community Room. All others are at Bernardsville Library. There is no charge to attend and students may come to classes in more than one timeslot if they wish.

At the first session, students will be divided into small groups based on their native language and their facility with English. The classes will follow a variety of formats including lessons and practice as well as conversation and role playing daily tasks that have to be executed in English. Trained volunteers teach the classes. Community members who would like to volunteer as teachers are encouraged to call the library at 908-766-0118. No previous training is necessary.
There is no charge to attend the program, and advance registration is unnecessary. Call the library at 908-766-0118 for more information on volunteering or attending the classes.
