Class descriptions
general english
Level-specific classes cover topics related to everyday life in the United States (see Our Curriculum for details). To maximize student accessibility and minimize COVID-19 concerns, these classes are currently taught using a hybrid model, alternating between in-person and online instruction.
We have 5 class levels
|
English for seniors
integrated skills class
|
This class is open to all of our currently registered students. Once per week students gather in this multi-level class to build community, language, and technology skills. Volunteers from the Boise community meet students from all levels, working to support lead teachers in lessons that focus on applying concepts from that week's General English class.
|
citizenship class
These are 5-6 week intensive courses for students who are in the process of applying for U.S. citizenship. Targeted instruction helps prepare English language learners to pass the U.S. citizenship test. To learn more, including when the next class will be offered, please contact elcinfo@jannus.org .

the elc is on whatsapp!
We have found WhatsApp to be the most accessible way to provide online instruction to students with low technology skills. For details on our unique online WhatsApp classes, check out our 2021 Intermountain TESOL presentation, "Our Pandemic Quest: Addressing the Digital Divide Through WhatsApp".
