English as a Second Language
Understanding the English language is essential for anyone wanting to find employment, communicate with friends and neighbours or to further their studies.
New migrants or adults who did not finish school, will find studying English a vital and most practical life skill, opening up a field of new opportunities both in their work and social circles.
The study of English will teach students how to speak, read and write English so that they can communicate effectively.
