To assist immigrants and refugees in becoming as self sufficient as possible, IIC offers English as a Second Language classes. Learning the language is the key to resettlement, and the first step toward employment. In our ESL classes, the participants start with a fundamental course that helps them learn skills which they can put to use quickly on the job or in coping with day to day realities that many of us may take for granted. The course teaches everything from basic everyday manners to emergency situations to job skills. Speaking, reading and writing English are all included. These specially designed courses help students become comfortable in American society and accelerate the resettlement process. The classes meet five days a week in the mornings, September through June. There is no charge for these classes.
American citizenship classes are also provided on certain Saturdays and Sundays. Contact the Institute for specific details on these classes.
