Winters Community Library, Continuing ESL & Citizenship Class On February 20, 2025, Yolo County Library Literacy Services concluded a new ESL course in Winters, CA. The Continuing ESL class differs from the other Library ESL classes in that this one is for learners who have previous English language learning. Library ESL classes in Knights Landing, Esparto, and South Davis are all beginning ESL classes. Sixteen students committed to attending class twice a week; the students worked very hard on various English skills like reading, writing, listening, and speaking as well as learned topics related to U. S history and current events, which will prepare them to take their Citizenship test and become a US citizen through naturalization. They always showed up with a warm and joyful smile. The atmosphere that our ESL students created in the classroom was safe and empowering. They often worked in groups and pairs creating a special bond between the students. One example is Virginia. She is currently in the process of becoming a US Citizen and has been a dedicated student. She has learned all the 100 questions required for the immigration test and practiced her conversing and writing skills. Virginia has made remarkable progress in her English skills. Please join us in congratulating our ESL students, volunteers, and staff. |
