ESL:  English as a Second Language

The English as a Second Language (ESL) ministry of Carriage Lane is designed to help adult internationals and immigrants learn to speak English and function more effectively in the United States.  ESL classes are primarily for people who are fluent in other languages but who have limited knowledge of English.  Some know little or no English, while others have studied English in their home countries.  Many can read and write English, but they need practice speaking and interacting with others in English. 

Students in our 2005 and 2006 ESL programs were from 19 different countries:  Brazil, China, Columbia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Japan, Kazakhstan, Korea, Kosovo, Mexico, Nicaragua, Russia, Thailand, Ukraine, Venezuela, and Vietnam.  Carriage Lane Presbyterian ESL welcomes our new friends and neighbors from around the world!
