English as a Second Language

Oprima aquí para leer ésta información en español

Welcome to English learning!¡Bienvenidos al aprendizaje del inglés!영국에게 배우기에 환영!

The ESL Department offers a wide range of courses from beginning to advanced levels, and each helps students develop their English language proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, vocabulary, grammar, and writing.

To determine the most appropriate level, all students are assessed prior to enrolling in classes.  Although most students enroll in two or three courses at each level, they can take fewer courses depending on their time availability.  Students are encouraged to use their English outside of class and visit the different ESL support services to get extra language practice. To see the classes that are currenlty being offered this semester, click on Current Courses in the list of Quicklinks.
