Astonishingly, only 4% of adult English learners in the U.S. have access to ESL instruction. EnGen is here to change this.

EnGen is a skills-focused, virtual English language learning platform for organizations and employers working with limited English proficient employees. EnGen is the brainchild of Dr. Katie Brown, our founder and chief education officer, who holds a PhD in Second Language Acquisition (SLA) and over twenty years of experience in applied language research.

We’re here to make it easier for adult learners to access high-quality English instruction tied to their real-world needs. Learn more getEnGen.com
