The Academic ESL Program is designed to prepare students for transfer into academic programs at Southwestern College. Academic ESL classes focus on academic reading, writing, speaking, listening, grammar, and vocabulary. This program incorporates academic themes and concepts from various disciplines and emphasizes academic skills.
