Information Session for Adult English Learners

This informal information session is for adult English language learners seeking resources, support, and opportunities to practice. 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, not as a formal English class.

Participants can speak with an instructor about registering for grammar classes, learn about free informal conversation groups for practicing speaking and listening, and ask questions about programs and resources for adult English learners.
