 Hi, I'm Sydney Bilbury here at Suncoast Technical College, visiting one of the many ESOL programs across the United States, helping other language speakers improve out in their English. ESOL stands for English for Speakers of Other Languages, which means my students speak a variety of languages and I'm teaching them English. They learn the life skills they're going to need to function in our community. So they learn to read and write and be able to communicate and be able to understand. This is the adult ESOL program, so anybody that resides in this county can attend classes. We do some game activities. Every Friday we watch movies here and we learn how to read and write correctly. Some students come every day full-time and they don't have any other obligations so they progress rapidly. Other students have family members, have children, have one or two jobs, can't come every day so then it takes a little bit longer for them. They all have different goals. So the intake process, when they're brand new, I sit down individually and find out what their personal goal is. Some want to attend college here. Some want to help their children with their homework. Others want to get a better job or get a promotion. Others are retired and they just want to be able to communicate with people in their neighborhood. When we incorporate the new arrivals into our community, they become successful, happy citizens. It's practically help us. It's more important, go to job, take interview and build your career. ESOL is just an example of one of the many ways that foreigners can adapt to our community. This is Sydney Bilbury, Eson Coast Technical College.
