English
As A Second Language
English
as a Second Language (ESL) is the study of English designed for non-native
speakers of English.
As California
becomes culturally and linguistically more diverse, the need for language
and cultural orientation grows. Moreover, non-native speakers of English
will need to develop academic language skills necessary for success at
the college level. For course descriptions, choose Courses from our menu
at left.
Although
ESL is not recognized as a separate major, it is a necessary component
for success in any field for the non-native student. ESL courses help
students gain skills in listening, speaking, and writing necessary for
success in an educational and work
setting.
VVCC
offers a wide variety of non-credit ESL classes at lower levels, from
low beginning to high intermediate. ESL 101 and 102 are the most advanced
courses in a six-level program of English.
