Learn English

Canal Alliance offers English as a Second Language (ESL) classes to help adults gain the language skills they need to work toward their educational and career goals, succeed on the job, and participate as active members of their community.

Classes are offered at multiple levels to meet the needs of students with various language skills. Students are placed in classes based on their individual language skill level. To accommodate work and family schedules, classes are offered online throughout the year and during the evening. 

Our fall semester classes are full, so we are no longer accepting applications for fall. 

Spring classes will start on January 22, 2024. If you are interested in taking a class in the spring, please check this web page in mid-November for information on how to apply. The application date for spring classes is Monday, November 27, 2023. 

For more information about our ESL (English as a Second Language) program, please call or send a WhatsApp message to Kate at 415-306-0474. 

Some classes are online, and some are hybrid. Hybrid classes meet 3 days per week via Zoom and 1 day per week in person at Canal Alliance.
