ESL: English as a Second Language
The multi-faceted process of resetting into a foreign country is compounded when one is unable to speak the native language. PAC’s ESL (English as a Second Language) Team provides immigrants and refugees with classroom instruction via comprehensive lesson planning, fostering of a safe learning environment, and blessing learners with the opportunity to encounter the love of Jesus through this experience.
About Our ESL Program
Welcome to our ESL Program, where we empower individuals by helping them gain essential English language skills. Whether you’re new to the country or simply looking to improve your English, our program is designed to meet you where you are and support your growth.
Our classes are held every Monday from 6:30 to 8:30PM in a 10-week program, offered each semester during the spring and fall. All classes take place at Princeton Alliance Church, located at 20 Schalks Crossing Road, Plainsboro, NJ 08536. Please enter through the front door (Café Entrance) and head to the Great Room.
No matter your current level of English, you’re welcome here—no prior English knowledge is required. Not only will you learn English, but also make friends and enjoy a supportive community. Our curriculum focuses on listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills that are interactive and relevant to daily life.
Our dedicated volunteer team will assist you with a placement assessment and guide you through the next steps. If you’re a new student, please email esl@princetonalliance.org with any questions or to let us know you’ll be joining us.
We’re excited to welcome you to our ESL community!
About Our Team
None of this happens without the church family and our many friends who volunteer to make this possible. We exist to help people know God, develop community, and bring hope. The ESL team is here to help you with language skills so that you can connect with community and pursue life goals free of linguistic barriers. We do so out of the love that we have experienced through Jesus. We want to connect with our local community in meaningful ways and believe that ESL is one of those ways. We want to strengthen the community through cultural awareness. Though our teaching team is diverse, we are learners too.
We’re happy to help you along your journey. If you have questions you can reach us at esl@princetonalliance.org.
