Kiara Santana Rosario turned to NECC’s ESL Program when she arrived in the United States from the Dominican Republic.

When Kiara Santana Rosario arrived in the United States at 18 years old, she quickly realized the English she was taught in the Dominican Republic sounded nothing like what she was hearing in real time. Anxious to get it right she enrolled in English as a Second Language (ESL) Program at Northern Essex Community College.

Now others can too.

NECC will hold an ESL Information Night on Thursday, November 14, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the Dr. Ibrahim El-Hefni Allied Health & Technology Center, 414 Common St., Lawrence, Room 301.

Sponsored by NECC’s Academic ESL this information night is free and open to prospective ESL students.

“The night is about spreading the word about our ESL program,” said Amy Cameron, academic ESL curriculum coordinator at NECC. “Come learn about the ESL Program, NECC’s degrees and certificate programs, how to apply for financial aid, foreign credential evaluation, and student support services. Then get a tour of the campus, ask us some questions, and receive help completing an application.”
