The Re-launching of the Adult ESOL Program

by Mei Kee Wong

The Adult ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) Program suffered a drop in enrollment during 2008 due to the recession. In 2009, while offering only 1 class during the Spring Semester, our ESOL coordinator conducted a community survey and found that the need for survival English classes among Chinese immigrants was still great. The finance committee also conducted an in-depth analysis into the viability of providing the ESOL program and its ramifications for the financial health of the agency. The board of directors, after much prayer, decided to re-launch the Adult ESOL Program with the implementation of a new scholarship component.

The scholarship drive was a success. Pledges for 48 semester-scholarships ($400 per semester) were raised. Support for one teacher for one semester also came in. We are extremely grateful to those who gave so generously. On May 26, our ESOL Program was re-launched with five classes, one at each level. So far, 10 full-scholarships and 3 half-scholarships have been given out. Enrollment went from 18 in the Spring Semester to 88 in the Summer Semester.

Among the scholarship recipients, there was a family that had arrived in Boston in mid-June with two teenagers, one in middle school and one in high school. The Boston Public Schools told them that they could not enroll their children until mid-August for the 2009-2010 school year. Worrying about their sons’ English abilities, the parents came in less than a week after their arrival to inquire about enrolling their two sons in our adult ESOL program. Allowing teenagers into our adult ESOL Program has been done in the past, as services for them have been scarce in the summer. When they found out that scholarships were available, they all signed up for our summer classes, the parents in lower levels than the sons, taking advantage of this initial time to improve their English before they were able to find a job. We feel privileged to be able to serve the entire family when they first arrived in Boston. The relative who brought them to us is a Christian, and we are praying that this family will experience God’s love, besides having the opportunity to learn English.

We are also thankful to report that we have been successful in two of our grant applications for our ESOL Program. We have been awarded $25K by the Chinatown Trust Fund, and $20K by English for New Bostonians, both in support of our new scholarship program for the period of July 2009 to June 2010. We continue to seek support to sustain this scholarship program over the long-term. Would you prayerfully consider contributing to support our new scholarship program for July 2010 and beyond?
