English as a Second Language

ESL Library Resources 

• We have books, CDs, and DVDs to help people learn to read, speak, and understand English, as well as resources for ESL tutors. Topics include ESL, grammar, reading comprehension, pronunciation, business English, vocabulary, and culture.
• We have two iPads with ESL related apps, and one laptop with Reading Horizons software (available at the Technology Center Desk). 
• Practice grammar and vocabulary using  Brainfuse or Pronunciator online resources. You need an Indian Prairie Public Library card to use these services.  Each resource has audio and video files, practice tests, and reading tutorial to learn ESL skills.
