ESL – English as a Second Language
English as a Second Language (ESL) is a language program designed for adults, 16 years and older, whose native language is not English. The ESL program helps students improve their reading, writing, speaking and listening skills from literacy to the advanced level. These skills are necessary for success in the workplace, the community, and for future course work. Students improve English skills while also learning about American culture.
Before entry into the program, a student must obtain an English skills assessment for accurate placement. Contact us for further information.
