English as a Second Language

English as a Second Language (ESL) is a program or class that helps people who don’t speak English as their first language learn to read, write, and speak it. It’s designed to support non-native speakers in understanding and using English in everyday life, school, or work. In short, it’s about helping people learn English so they can communicate and succeed.
