SUMMARY:ESL Tutor Forum
DESCRIPTION:Forum leader: Lupita Flores (269) 382-0490 ext. 224 \nEnglish as a Second Language (ESL) is an important part of the adult learning continuum. Immigrants and refugees in our communities are eager to learn language and literacy skills that help them function at work\, school\, and community settings. Increasingly\, volunteer tutors are providing instruction for ESL learners. This forum will provide teaching strategies for tutors and instructors who provide literacy instruction for non-native English speakers. We invite you to share your experiences. Learn more about ESL of Southwest Michigan. \nTo sign up for the forum\, contact Kito Jumanne-Marshall at (269) 382-0490 ext. 211 or kjumanne-marshall@kalamazooliteracy.org.
