Enrollment is underway for an English language program at Webster Learning Center.

St. Joseph Adult Education & Literacy is holding its English Language Learners information day Aug. 3, 4, 10 & 11.

Betty Wymore, AEL director said anyone interested in registering for classes needs to come in.

“They must come to these information sessions in order for us to sign them up,” Wymore said. “If they’re wanting to study English or get their citizenship we work with them here.”

She said on average around 200 students will sign up for classes.

Registrants can come in and register at 9 a.m, 10 a.m, 3 p.m, 6 p.m. or 7 p.m. on the days listed above. The registration process takes around an hour, to fill out paperwork and take an initial assessment. Students will be given choices of what time to attend class, 9 a.m. – 11 a.m, 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. or 6 p.m. – 8 p.m.

Students will then sign up for a time the week of Aug. 16 to come back and do their testing assessment.

There are some classroom changes.

“They need to park in the back parking lot because we’re at the same location at the Webster Learning Center but come in the back parking lot and come in door 4 because that’s where we are located,” Wymore said.

She said there are 11 part-time teachers in the program.

“During any given semester, we have at least 32 different languages represented in our classes,” Wymore said. “Students come from many different walks of life, some with no education in their native country and some professionals in their own countries, such as doctors, lawyers, teachers, many different professions.”
