Azusa
Library | Adult Literacy & Citizenship Classes
BASIC
LITERACY
Over
10 million adults in California function at or below basic literacy levels.
They may not have the skills required to be gainfully employed or economically
self-sufficient. They are unlikely to have the skills, and the confidence, to
engage in their children’s education or participate in community activities.
Yet once they start to learn, there is no stopping them . . . and you can help
them get started!
INSPIRED
CITIZENSHIP
According
to the U.S. Census, nearly 1-third of Azusa residents were born outside the
United States. The goal of our Inspired Citizenship program is to empower our
community and encourage stronger civic participation for all City of Azusa
residents.
The
library offers:
weekly
classes
study
materials
1-on-1
coaching
special
information workshops to help you and your family achieve your dreams of
becoming U.S. citizens
GRASSROOTS
ESL
According
to the U.S. Census, nearly 1-quarter of Azusa’s 46,361 residents report they
speak English “less than very well.” In response, the Azusa community has
joined together to provide Grassroots ESL (English as a 2nd Language) to help
limited English speakers gain confidence and skill in speaking English.
HEALTH
LITERACY
Health
Literacy Learning is a collaboration with the Azusa Neighborhood Wellness
Center and the Azusa Pacific University Department of TESOL (Teachers of
English to Speakers of Other Languages).
Health
Literacy Learning classes focus on English vocabulary, grammar, conversations,
and reading and writing exercises related to topics such as nutrition, exercise
and preventing disease.
Two
levels of classes are offered. Each is scheduled twice a week, for 8-week
sessions.
