Information Session for Adult English Learners
This informal information session is for adult English-language learners seeking library resources, support, and opportunities to practice English. Members of the Boston Public Library’s Literacy Services team will answer questions, explain available programs, and help participants connect with local resources.
The session is intended for information and referrals rather than formal instruction. Participants can ask an instructor how to register for grammar classes, learn about free informal conversation groups for speaking and listening practice, and explore additional literacy and self-study resources.
