Learning English bridges many gaps for foreign-born people. Itโ€™s necessary for communication with employers, neighbors, childrenโ€™s teachers, doctors, landlords and others with whom they must communicate. It is also key to passing the U.S. citizenship exam and the ability to vote.

The U.S. foreign-born population more than doubled between 1990 and 2000, urban.org reports. Consequently, the number of adults enrolled in English as a Second Language classes (ESL) has increased dramatically.

According to the U.S. Department of Education, the number of ESL students enrolled in federally funded programs increased from 1.1 million to 1.2 million just between 2002 and 2003. In the 2007-2008 school year, more than 5.3 million children were enrolled in ESL classes, migrationinformation.org reports; by 2015, that number will reach 10 million.

There are a variety of ESL apps and tools that make the learning process easier for the ESL student. Letโ€™s take a look at some of the most Popular iOS and Android Apps to Learn English Language:

1.ย Intro to Letters

This simple app takes you through every letter in the English alphabet. Students can tap a letter they want to learn about, and the app will tell them what the letter means, examples of how it is used and what it sounds like in different words. Then you can do exercises, flashcards and puzzles with each letter. To help students write the letters, the app offers a tracing program for practice.

2.ย Hello-Hello English

Hello-Hello English was built in part by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. It uses a teaching method called Mobile Immersion to create a virtual environment that guides learners visually to develop functional language skills. It comes with 30 conversational lessons based on real-life situations. Animated lessons, gamesย and exercises allow students to practice speaking, writing, reading and listening skills. You will find theย app for Android here.
