The ESL (English as a Second Language) program is for people 18 years of age and older who do not speak English as their first language and want to learn English to get a job, get a better job, go to college or voca-tional school, or to become a United States citizen. Classes are free.

Learn to read, write, understand and speak English as it relates to everyday life. ESL classes are at the main Elk Grove Adult and Community Education (EGACE) campus on Gerber Road and in several neighborhood lo-cations in the community. There are morning, afternoon and evening ESL classes. Classes are offered at 5 levels. Classes start at the beginning level for those who do not read or write English, and progress to the advanced level. Some classes have students at one level and other classes have students at several dif-ferent levels in the same class (multilevel).

All students take a test to find out what level is best for them. You need to make an appointment for an orientation and test date. These dates are announced on the EGACE website: www.egusd.net/egace. Space is limited and appointments fill up fast. Check the website weekly.

The registration process for these classes can take up to three hours. You must arrive on time. Please do not bring children to your appointment.
