The Orange County Literary Council will hold ESL training on January 8 for volunteers interested in learning how to help non-native English speakers improve their everyday English skills.
Due to local demand for English as a Second Language classes, the literacy council and the Seymour Center are partnering to make ESL classes available to more people. Volunteer tutors will attend an intensive program that includes lectures, self-paced online sessions and role-playing activities. After the training, volunteers will be placed as either small-group leaders or assistants for the spring semester.
No experience is necessary and volunteers of all ages are welcome.
The training will be held from 9 a.m. to noon at the Seymour Center on Homestead Road. Lunch is available for anyone who makes a lunch reservation by 1 p.m. on January 7.
