courses of English as second language,or if you know any

Answer(s):

Thank you for your question about English as a second language (ESL) classes in Camrose.

The Camrose Adult Learning Council offers tutoring in both spoken and written English. Their contact information is available at the following website: http://www.camroselearning.com/index.php?p=15

You can ask staff at the Camrose Adult Learning Council if they know of any other English as a second language classes in Camrose, or you can ask staff at the Camrose library.

Alternatively, the library subscribes to an online language learning service called "Auralog," which you can use to help you learn English. This service is free for library patrons. You will need to log on with your library card number and password, and then you will need to create an account on the Auralog website. Here is a link: http://library.auralog.com.ezproxy.alap.talonline.ca/?lid=ParklandR&cc=ParklandR

If you are not sure what your password is for your library card, try the last four digits of your phone number. If that does not work, you can go to your library and a staff person will help you.

The library also has books, CDs, and DVDs to help you learn English. You can ask staff at your library to help you find these in our catalogue, and if the items are at other libraries in the Parkland system, we can send them to your library for you to check out.

For example, we have the following titles in our collection that can help you learn English:

ESL instant immersion - English as a second language. (This is a set of 8 CDs.)

Learn English as a second language. (This is a DVD set.)

Intermediate English grammar for ESL learners. (This is a book.)
