English as a Second Language - The Connection for Women and Families: a nonprofit organization offering a variety of programs for all ages and abilities in Summit, New Jersey.

English as a Second Language

In 1945 The Connection began an English as a Second Language program to serve the influx of newcomers to our country after WWII. The need for this program is as significant now as it was 60 years ago. Today, Connection volunteers are teaching English and providing valuable support services to nearly 80 students from 22 different countries.

ESL is designed to help non-native speakers improve their conversation skills, increase vocabulary, learn idioms and explore U.S. culture. We offer small, friendly classes in a supportive environment to help students achieve their goals. Basic reading in native language is recommended. Beginner through advance classes available: September – June.
