The Standard Deviants - Learn English as a Second Language (ESL) - Possessives, Verb + Infinitive, and the Past

ELL classes, also known as English Language Learning classes are designed to help students taking English as a second language learn the language. These classes are geared toward giving students the time to translate and understand the material. Junior Habibo Abdi has been taking ELL classes since she came here as a freshman. She said that the classes have helped her a lot.

“Well I came here and I only understood a little,” Abdi said. “Then I started learning the language and it helped me a lot. The language is key here.” Although Abdi said she does not mind living in America, she misses her home. Abdi and her family moved to America after living in a refugee camp for 13 years due to being chased out of Somalia by the war and her fathers death.
