English as a Second Language (ESL)<\/h1>\n
\n

Welcome!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Briarwood Presbyterian Church offers a weekly adult English as a Second Language class (ESL) for learners from more than 17 countries. Our classes are taught by trained volunteers who love working with internationals. We have specific-level classes, conversation classes, and a variety of activities during the semester. Classes are free, and textbooks cost only $20. These classes and activities are a great opportunity to practice English in a relaxed environment. Classes may contain Christian content.<\/p>\n
