| Our ESL program is
designed to prepare students for admission to college credit courses.
The emphasis is on the exploration and development of speaking,
writing, and listening skills needed to be successful in all courses
at the college level. Our program uses a combination of group
work, tutorial conferences, and class presentations to prepare
students to be able to complete written assignments and to read
college texts effectively. |
