English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) Classes

ESOL community English classes are for those who speak another language and want to learn to successfully communicate in English. These classes are not for college credit and are appropriate for students with all levels of English skills. Interactive, small-group instruction focuses on reading, writing listening and speaking skills. Students also learn about American culture and traditions.
