Transparent Language

Your library is on the front lines of supporting English language learners in your community.

But your community has many different English needs. How can you meet as many as possible?

ESOL tutoring!

A panel of public library professionals is gathering to share their expertise offering various ESOL tutoring programs.

Join us to get answers to your questions about providing English tutoring, including:

• Where can I find volunteer tutors?
• What kind of training do they need to tutor? (Or do they need training?!)
• How do I make a good match between tutor and learner?
• Should I run sessions at the library or virtually? (Or both?)
• What materials do tutors need?
• Is it possible to run group ESOL tutoring?

All libraries all welcome, whether you subscribe to Transparent Language Online or not. 🙂

Your library's Transparent Language Online subscription now includes American English for Newcomers (for speakers of 23 languages) and Canadian English for Newcomers (for speakers of 12 languages coming in late February).

Join the creators of the "English for Newcomers" course, Orsi Gall and Lei Zeng, for a deep dive into:

• The course structure & topics covered
• Unique culture features within the lessons
• Differences between the American and Canadian versions of the course
• Ways to use the course with your ESOL students
