The mission of ESL for Professional Life is to help U.S. immigrants improve their English skills, advance in their careers, make friends and contribute to the life of the community. In doing so, they will naturally share with others what is wonderful about their own native cultures and languages and enhance appreciation for the diversity of this nation. As individuals who are working toward bettering their lives through innovation and entrepreneurship, they are the essence of the American dream.
The dynamic content of ESL Pro arises from the lives of students. Materials, exercises and assignments are co-developed and updated with volunteers and students throughout the course of the program to meet participants’ stated goals.
ESL Pro values the unique contributions of each individual's native language and culture and seeks to enrich each student's life through the mutual sharing of experiences. Students are expected to be proactive in helping each other to progress, in modeling self-directed and lifelong learning, and in sharing their skills by volunteering in the community.
The program, based in Longmont, Colorado, is offered for entrepreneurs in 2007 and 2008 through Intercambio de Comunidades with the support of Micro Business Development.
