Welcome to ICI’s English Language Learner (ELL) Classes

Our longest-running program is an English Language Learner (ELL) program and is open to all adults.

Our students are taught in a classroom by an experienced teacher. We provide a substantial snack during which our students have the opportunity to practice what they have learned and commune with faculty, staff, and other students.

These free classes are held most Sundays during the Gwinnett public school year from 1:00 pm to 4:30 pm (12:30 TO 4:00 PM in Daylight Saving Time) in the Gateway Circle Business Park at 6500 McDonough Dr, #D9, Norcross, GA 30093.

Classes start on the first Sunday after Labor Day each year and run until just before the winter break.  

They begin again on the first Sunday after the Gwinnett public schools reopen to students in January of each year (January 4, 2026) and run through the Sunday before Mother’s Day in May. (May 3, 2026)

We hold open enrollment throughout each semester, space permitting.

Use of masks, frequent hand washing, and/or hand sanitizer is strongly encouraged. Use of social distancing, disinfectant, and other precautions will be made, as needed, to ensure the safety of all.

In this program you will learn to:

  • speak English in a classroom setting; and
  • socialize with others like yourself, who also want to learn to speak English;

                                    AND

You will take a 30-minute break and eat a hearty snack while you socialize with your classmates and teachers.

Come learn English, make new friends, and share a snack. There are no attendance requirements and the classes and snacks are FREE.

There is a cost for the purchase of books for the class level to which you are assigned.
