Learn English and build your speaking and writing confidence. ACE is pleased to fully fund these classes for those who live or work in Arlington. The daytime class is co-sponsored by the Robbins Library.
Level 1 (Low Beginner): For beginner-level students with little to no knowledge of the English language. Learn the alphabet, numbers, pronouns, be verbs (am, is, are), and basic verbs and adjectives, as well as everyday vocabulary and simple conversation phrases.
Level 2 (High Beginner): For students who have taken the Level 1 course or for students who are familiar with the grammar concepts taught in the Level 1 course. Learn simple present, past, and future tenses and strengthen conversation skills.
Level 3 (Low Intermediate): For students who have taken the Level 2 course or who are familiar with those grammar concepts. Build your confidence, improve your speaking skills, and learn more advanced grammar including modals (e.g., must, should), adverbs of frequency, first and second conditionals, and comparative and superlative adjectives.
Please note: Priority goes to Arlington residents. Register for one session only. If you live outside of Arlington, please add yourself to our “non-resident waitlist” class and we will contact you if we have space.
Attendance Policy: Limited to one class per person per term. Students are expected to attend regularly. If you have to miss a class, you must notify the instructor in advance. Students who do not show up for the first class without notifying the instructor will be removed from the roster and will not be allowed to register for the following term. Students who miss more than three classes in a term will not be allowed to register for the following term.
