English Language Learning

English Language Classes

Vita’s English Language Learning Programs are free for all students. Students practice listening, speaking, reading, and writing to communicate in English for everyday situations. Students are placed at an appropriate class level, enabling them to achieve success and move on to the next level. English language skills help students navigate life in the U.S., gain employment, prepare for continuing education, access community resources, and earn U.S citizenship.
