English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) Library Outreach
Classes and Talk Time Sessions
ESOL Outreach
These programs are for individuals 18 years of age and over who have a native language other than English. All classes are held in room 102 next to the Cyber Café in the Lone Star College-CyFair branch library.
We offer two programs:
ESOL classes where students register before class begins. Students in these classes usually work with a free textbook to improve their reading, writing, listening and speaking skills. Our summer program is very limited. Please see schedule below for June/July times.
Talk Time focuses on listening and speaking. Each session is designed to encourage students to become more confident about speaking English. No registration is required and students may attend one or all of the sessions offered if space allows.
