Our English Language Learners (ELL) program meets in a small group setting every Wednesday from September through June. Classes for the 2026–2027 year begin on September 9, 2026.
Each week, our instructors select a theme that serves as the foundation for lessons in grammar, pronunciation, reading, writing, and conversation. Vocabulary and activities are tailored to the weekly topic, making learning relevant to everyday life.
The program also benefits from the participation of one or two James Caldwell High School students each week, who assist with instruction and conversation practice, an experience our participants greatly enjoy!
Classes are taught by Jill Smith, a retired professor of College Writing from Caldwell University, who brings years of teaching experience and a passion for helping learners build confidence in their English language skills.
