About Us

Digital ESL began as an open educational resource (OER) created to support adult English learners with accessible, practical materials focused on real-world communication and digital literacy.


To reduce barriers to learning, we continue to offer free tools and strategies that teachers and programs can adapt for their communities. OER remains a core commitment and guiding principle.


In 2025, Digital ESL expanded to include educational consulting and custom materials development, helping programs improve instruction, use technology more effectively in ESL, and better support diverse adult learners, while staying rooted in collaboration and shared growth.
