Are you an ESL Level III student?
You can take ESL courses and college level courses together.
Taking ESL and college level courses together is the best way to learn English well and quickly.
In ESL Learning Communities, you learn and study with the same group of students and learn all language skills -- reading, writing, listening, speaking, grammar and vocabulary -- in the context of a college course.
In ESL Learning Communities, faculty members have planned their courses together, sometimes around common themes.
As a student in an ESL Learning Community, you will make friends with fellow students, get to know your teachers and the College well, and learn in a supportive environment because you will take more than one course with the same group of students.
If you enroll in an ESL Learning Community, you are more likely to complete your courses, maintain a higher GPA, and achieve your goals.
Speak with your Advisor or ESL Faculty members today to enroll in an ESL Learning Community.
