Welcome to English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. What is ESOL? ESOL is a program with FREE English classes that help our BNL visitors, guests, employees and spouses with their English skills. The classes are held in the Recreation Building (#317). We have field trips and learn about American and international cultures together. The ESOL office is in Building 400. ESOL falls under the Quality of Life program in the Staff Services Division at BNL. For more information or to join classes, please send an email to esol@bnl.gov. See updated class schedule.

We help to improve English by:

  • offering free ESOL classes. If you’re interested in taking these classes offered by trained tutors and teachers, fill out this ESOL Student Registration Form.
  • having fun and educational BNL community events that promote language proficiency, foster community, and expose international visitors to American customs and culture.
  • publicizing information for your information about upcoming events in the Community News. Attending events helps to improve English. Click here for important links that can help improve English.

Please do not hesitate to email Jennifer Lynch or call her at extension 4894 with any questions about the ESOL program or if you would like to volunteer in some way. There are plenty of opportunities! If you have any suggestions, we are always eager to hear them.
