The Literacy Council of Bowie and Miller Counties is launching a free “Conversational English” Immersion Course for English Language Learners (ELLs) in the community. The program runs from August 27th to December 19th and offers two levels: Beginner and Intermediate.
In partnership with the Texarkana Independent School District (TISD), the course is accessible to parents of ELL students, with TISD providing free childcare during classes. Mindy Basurto, TISD’s District Coordinator of Multilingual Education, emphasized the program’s role in building stronger connections between families and schools.
Brooke Ferguson, Executive Director of the Literacy Council, highlighted that the course aims to help parents improve their English skills, enriching their involvement in their children’s education and community life.
