English learners celebrate literacy at Writing Event Awards CeremonyRamona Sentinel: 5.22.2013
Participants in the Laubach English Literacy Program at the
Ramona Library took center stage at the 2013 Writing Event Awards Ceremony.
The writing event is conducted every year in April to give
English learners the opportunity to use the writing skills acquired during the
year. This year 26 learners from beginner to intermediate levels participated.
The essay topic was “Food.” All of the writing was completed in the classroom
using minimal notes and a dictionary.
Each participant received a certificate and a book donated by the Laubach Literacy Council of San Diego County during the May 7 ceremony in the library. The council in partnership with the San Diego County Library system offers English as a Second Language (ESL) classes in libraries, Ramona’s, as well as in non-library centers.
. . . . .
About 250 tutors serve approximately 800 adult learners
throughout the county, making this Laubach council the largest totally
volunteer ESL organization in the county.
A tutor training will be held on June 22 and 29 in the Poway
Branch Library. Anyone interested in becoming a tutor or learning English may
