Ohio ESL Schools
English as a Second Language (ESL) refers to the English language learning process of a person whose first language is not English. Many universities offer ESL programs as a type of support for adults seeking better job opportunities or students who want a future university career. Some of the universities in Ohio offer an orientation class as part of the ESL program so that students and working adults who are new to the United States can get some cultural background.
