ESL programs, or English as a Second Language programs, are designed to help non-native speakers improve their English language skills. These programs focus on teaching reading, writing, listening, and speaking in English, making it easier for students to communicate in everyday situations and academic settings. Typically offered in schools, community centers, and online platforms, ESL programs cater to various proficiency levels. They often include interactive activities, cultural lessons, and personalized instruction to meet the diverse needs of learners from different backgrounds and age groups.
