English as a Second Language - ESL

The Emerson Public Library offers English as a second language, otherwise known as ESL courses, to residents of the Emerson community, completely free of charge.

ESL Culture Club

Tutors and students are invited to a new online ESL culture club program where attendees will have the opportunity to learn about a highlighted country/culture. The presentation will be given by an ESL student in our community providing an opportunity for students to improve their speaking and listening skills with a chance for others to ask questions. The goal of this club is for participants to gain an understanding, appreciation and awareness of different cultures in our community.
