English for Speakers of Other Languages

The IIC's English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) Program works closely with our Immigration and Citizenship Programs to identify the specific language needs of immigrants in the Boston community. We understand that English language facility is the key to leading a successful and prosperous life in the U.S..

Our experienced and certified ESOL teachers provide free or low cost instruction in speaking, reading and writing English. The classes are designed to give immigrants the ability and confidence to speak English at work and at home.

“Everyone comes to the U.S. because they have dreams. They want to have a job here but language can be the barrier. For me now I am different. 

I like to learn and read books. I love to read but now only English. Always English.”
