English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL)

How much English you can learn in one year depends on your English level, your personality, and your goals. PFAFT's English advanced program provides you with language training for communicating with coworkers, participating in meetings, and networking with peers. However, if you are an entry-level student, Beginner courses are a fantastic opportunity to learn the basic English of daily activities, such as buying essential items for necessities, visiting the doctor, and navigating transportation options.

How We Help

PFAFT provides ESOL courses for free or at a nominal and/or sliding scale cost for Louisiana residents. Our staff provide 6 levels of English as a Second Language literacy. We use the three interactive CASAS modalities: Interpretive, Productive, and Interactive. These three applied curricula include reading, writing, speaking, and listening, which allow for a holistic approach to teaching and assessing English language learners in an adult and older youth educational setting. Our staff provides proficiency level testing to determine what literacy level is appropriate for each individual.

Six Levels of English as a Second Language

Level 1: Beginning ESL Literacy
Level 2: Low Beginning ESL
Level 3: High Beginning ESL
Level 4: Low Intermediate ESL
