The ESOL program is designed for international, residential and non-residential students who want to improve their English. Students can complete the program in one academic year (nine months) and are prepared for college and university admission exams, such as the Texas Success Initiative Assessment (TSIA) or Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). The curriculum covers language skills in oral communication; grammar, reading and writing for the workplace; and college career or university studies. Courses are taught by master teachers with lecture, group projects and computer assignments. A Certificate of Completion is awarded upon ESOL program completion.
