General Information
English as a Second Language
classes emphasize listening, speaking, reading, and writing
instruction for non-native English speakers for whom language
skills are a barrier to employment. U.S. Citizenship
classes are also available at some class locations.
Courses in
the English as a Second Language program are designed to develop
and improve basic reading, writing, listening, and speaking
English. Each student is assessed using the Comprehensive Adult
Student Assessment System (CASAS).
Skills taught include
reading comprehension, vocabulary building, grammar, sentence
structure, paragraph and essay writing; listening and speaking
skills; and computer knowledge. These concepts and skills are
taught through lecture, classroom exercises, small group work
and individual instruction. These courses are designed to
enhance a student’s life and work skills and encourage students
to obtain further education.
