The NHTI Library and Learning Commons tries to provide a place for those who are learning English to come for help and guidance. In addition to the ESOL office located in the building, we also have a large collection of ESL reading material to help students hone their English reading and usage skills
These volumes consist largely of classic novels in English
that have been abridged and edited for brevity.
They remain true to the original story and have had the complexity of the vocabulary and grammar adjusted to enable readers
of differing skills the ability to enjoy them.
We have placed these volumes along with a collection of
dictionaries on shelves just outside of the ESOL office. Interested students can browse the titles and
take the ones they’re interested in to the Service Desk in the Library to check
out and enjoy at their leisure.
After finishing a shortened version of A Tale of Two Cities, Pride
and Prejudice or Treasure Island,
the new English learner can begin to develop a list of favorites so that as their reading skills increase they can check out the original version and enjoy the
complete story with all the beauty of the language intact.
