English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) classes help non-native English speakers advance their conversational skills and learn more about American culture.

We offer classes in McLean and Herndon. We offer six levels of classes, and match each student’s skill level to a class. Read about our class details below.

New and returning students, please register before September 6.

Our ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) classes help non-native English speakers improve and advance their language skills. Some of our students know little or no English; others have studied English in their home country. Many can read and write English but need practice in English conversation. We try to meet the needs of students at all levels.

Instruction includes grammar, pronunciation, reading, and American culture and customs. Part of the reading material and discussions of holidays and traditions may include Christian teaching.
