SPRINGFIELD — Lincoln Land Community College Adult Education will host Conversation Tables for English language learners every Monday, 5-6:30 p.m., from Oct. 7-Nov. 18, at Chatham Public Library, 600 Spruce Street.

“Conversation Tables will give English language learners a chance to connect with others and practice conversational English in a comfortable environment,” said Patty Mendoza, director, adult education and literacy at LLCC.

It’s free to participate in Conversation Tables, but registration is required. LLCC will hold information sessions at the Chatham Public Library on the following dates:
Sept. 10 – 9-9:30 a.m. & 10-10:30 a.m.

Registration will be held immediately following each session and will include a short English language assessment, which could take up to an hour.

Conversation Tables were made possible through a grant awarded by the Illinois State Library, a division of the Office of Secretary of State, using funds designated for literacy.
