The English As A Second Language ESL credit curriculum is designed to develop a student's pre-academic language proficiency in the areas of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The courses are divided into six proficiency levels and four skill areas (Listening-Speaking, Reading, Writing, and Grammar). The credit curriculum is designed to interface with college level programs. A student enters this program by taking an English placement test and then by being advised by a specially trained ESL academic advisor.
