Information Session for Adult English Learners

This informal information session is for adult English learners seeking support, learning opportunities, and ways to practice English. Members of the Boston Public Library’s Literacy Services team will answer questions, explain how to register for grammar classes, and connect attendees with local resources and programs.

The session also introduces free, informal conversation practice groups for developing speaking and listening skills. It is designed for questions and resource-sharing rather than formal English instruction.
