What to Expect

Students should plan to complete all ESOL Levels and Career Pathway courses within three years (or 9 semesters) of first enrollment.

ESOL classes are taught by qualified instructors who specialize in teaching English for Speakers of Other Languages. Students can progress through multiple skills levels of English*: beginner, low intermediate, high intermediate, and advanced.

Students can also expect:

  • Two days per week of English language instruction
  • Career pathway classes (example: Medical English)
  • Access to online self-study ESL programs for English and Career lessons
  • Conversation groups

*Skill level and placement is determined before enrollment by a student's scores on the CASAS (Comprehensive Adult Student Assessment System) test. Students are required to retest after every 70 to 100 hours of attendance, to assess their progress.
