This study evaluated a language program in a lifelong education center in the U. S. where elderly Korean learners of English attended by examining their view on the program as well as their English development. A total of 45 elderly learners participated in the study. The data were collected through a student survey, pre-and post tests and an individual interview with the classroom teacher. The findings showed that most of the elderly were content with the language program they attended. Also, on the post-tests for speaking and writing, the learners showed great improvement, participating more in the conversation and responding to the situation appropriately. This result was supported by the learners’ responses to the questions in the survey stating that learners considered their speaking and writing abilities to be improved as a result of participating in the program. With regard to the contents of the class, they found basic situational dialogue and vocabulary learning most useful
