ESOL: English for Speakers of Other Languages

Winter Term Registration is Closed. Registration opens February 24 for Spring Term.

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 2 (High Beginner): For students who have basic understanding of the simple sentence structure in English, and the following concepts:  the alphabet, numbers 0–100, subject pronouns, the be verbs (am, is, are), and everyday verbs and adjectives. Learn the simple present, past, and future tenses while building real conversational confidence. 

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.

Level 4 (High Intermediate): For students who have completed ACE Level 3 or are familiar with its grammar concepts. Practice communicating on a wider range of topics with greater accuracy and fluency while learning advanced grammar, including passive voice, third conditionals, and future forms.

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.
