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

    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.
