 Shoreline Community College offers a comprehensive
ESL program to all immigrant/refugee students. All new
students are given a placement test to measure their
English ability for placement in the right classes.
Students are required to enter the ESL program at a
level determined by the ESL placement test. Students
have the option to continue their studies until they
successfully complete the ESL program.
The ESL program offers beginning, intermediate and
advanced classes. The ESL daytime program is full-time
and intensive. Students attend three hours of class
daily. Each level offers the student the opportunity to
speak, read and write English.
The ESL evening program is part-time and specially
designed for students who work full-time. Students who
are legal immigrant or refugees pay a $25 dollar fee
for the beginning and intermediate levels of ESL
classes. Students may attend other regular college
classes with advisor approval.
In addition to ESL classes, individualized help with
English reading and writing is available to students
through Shoreline Community Academic Skills Center. Many
students use the center to improve their English. This
helps them succeed in their college studies.
In addition, students can practice their newly
learned skills in the ESL/GED Technology Center. This
center offers individualized help as well as group
activities specifically designed to meet the learning
needs of ESL students.
