ESL and ESL for Professionals
English as a Second Language (ESL)
Our classes are made up of multi-skills and multi-level groups of adults. We offer learning activities for individuals, but we find that you will engage and learn better in groups based on ability or in randomly assigned small groups.
Classes typically meet twice a week in the daytime or evenings. Each class combines instruction and interactive practice in listening, speaking, reading, writing, and grammar. At orientation, students are given a placement test to ensure that instruction is designed to match their level of understanding.
ESL for Professionals
ESL for Professionals can help you validate your degree if you have a bachelor's degree from your home country but have not been able to get a job in your profession in the United States.
Enroll in this 16-week course and we will help you get your degree verified so that you can present it to U.S. colleges and employers.
Program Expectations
If admitted into the program, you will be expected to attend the orientation and take both written and spoken standardized tests. You should be able to demonstrate a level of English proficiency so that you will be able to handle the curriculum used in the class.
Transcript Evaluation
The fees for your degree verification are paid by the Workforce Commission of Tarrant County.
