English as a Second Language Department
Delgado's English as a Second Language (ESL) studies offer English courses to speakers of other languages. These courses are for students who plan to continue their studies in a college or university . Also, they are for those who simply want to develop their skills for social or professional reasons.
Classes are taught by qualified ESL professionals with extensive experience.
All full-time teachers have advanced degrees and certifications in the field.
There are six different levels( from beginning to advanced) in four skill areas:
-
Composition
-
Conversation
-
Grammar
-
Reading
A student may want to enroll in all four courses or just one or two. A placement test will determine in which of the six levels the student should be placed.
Advanced students have the privilege of supplementing their studies with selected college credit courses.
