English as a Second Language

Adult Education > English as a Second Language

North Georgia Technical College is dedicated to providing for the language needs of bilingual students through the English as a Second Language (ESL) program. Language learners range widely, from very limited skills to moderate ability to extended fluency. Therefore, the college offers ESL classes at three levels—beginning, intermediate, and advanced. 

  • Beginning ESL provides instruction in conversational English, in life-coping skills, and beginning basic reading and writing.
  • Intermediate ESL provides continued development of conversational English in life-coping skills. This level will improve the student’s speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills.
  • Advanced ESL provides instruction in grammar and usage, and effective speaking and writing in English.
