Ozarka College Adult Education Department is in the beginning phase of offering an English as a Second Language (ESL) class. In fact, the first group of students is getting instruction from Adult Ed Instructor, Trish Miller.
The Adult Ed department is in the process of acquiring books, materials, along with a certified ESL instructor in order to conduct ongoing ESL classes.
These three students who live in Calico Rock are Maria Parnell and her son, Daniel Cajina and daughter Lizzette Cajina. Originally from Nicaragua, Maria has been in the United States for several years, but has only recently moved to the Izard County area. Her children have been in the States for about three years.
Miller has been instructing these students for three weeks now and looks forward to continuing to develop appropriate ESL curriculum for others in the area that can benefit from the course.
