English as a Second Language teaches students that are non-native speakers of English to be proficient in the language.

I taught ESL at a high school in Dallas, TX. I am from Colombia and I came to the United States when I was 16 years old. It was really hard for me to immerse in the new culture specially because I did not know a single word in English. It was with patient, dedication and some really good ESL teachers that I succeed [more]
