East Brunswick Public Library Holds English Language Learner Course

East Brunswick Public Library (2 Civic Center Drive) hosts a five-week-long English Language Learners class for job seekers starting this summer.

The class will be held in the library’s meeting rooms from Monday through Friday, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. The program is designed for intermediate learners to improve their ability to write, read, speak and read in English. It also focuses on developing computer and career skills to improve their job outlook.

“This class offers students the ability to sharpen their English language skills,” said ESL Coordinator Paul Kibala. “It’s encouraging to see students practice writing and speaking, giving them the tools to be more confident in their English than ever before.”

The class is offered in conjunction with the New Jersey Department of Labor & Workforce Development, funded by the Community Library Adult Literacy & Career Pathway Grants Program. These classes are free; students taking the course are expected to attend all sessions.

Potential students must take a placement test to gain admission to the class. To sign up for the test, go to tinyurl.com/ELLclass2023. Once the application is submitted, the library will schedule the placement test.
