ESL for Spanish Speakers

Welcome to Avancemos!

Avancemos Literacy Students Winter 2016Here you will find information and resources to help you improve your life by learning English.

Our classes are free and are scheduled at convenient times of the day.

No documentation is required. You can borrow a Chromebook, hotspot, and other devices for free (when available). 

These classes are designed to provide a welcoming and low-stress environment for English learners from Spanish-speaking countries. The Avancemos professors will provide you with support in Spanish to make English learning more effective and education more accessible. 

Group WorkWe focus on vocational English to work in the USA. We also focus on life skills that will help you reach your personal and academic goals. 

All students are part of Glendale Community College and have the opportunity to take advantage of many options, including basic skills courses, preparation for high school diploma or high school equivalency tests (GED/HiSET), citizenship, computer classes, certificate programs, and academic studies.

Also, all students can access many free resources, such as the food pantry, mental health counseling, academic counseling, computer lab, tutoring, library, and practice conversation skills in the Learning Cafe.
