English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL)

ESOL StudentESOL, English for Speakers of Other Languages classes are designed for non-native speakers of English in and around the community. ESOL classes are free of charge and are not intended for degree-seeking individuals, but rather for those who need to improve their English speaking and listening skills.

Classes are available on campus at Gulf Coast Community College and off campus at various sites throughout the community.  ESOL is also expanding to other campuses within Gulf Coast Community College to include classes at the Franklin Center.  In addition to our existing sites, Gulf Coast Community College, through local churches and businesses, provide their members and/or workforce ESOL classes on site. All sessions are eight weeks long.

ESOL Students in ClassroomA computer program, the Computer Institute for ESOL Students, provides ESOL students with the opportunity to enhance their computer skills; in addition, an Open-Enrollment ESOL Program is currently in the developmental stages. First-time participants must attend orientation and take a pre-test to determine which of our classes would best suit them.  Once the student completes the class, a post-test will be administered to determine how much that student has learned.

Available ESOL Levels: Foundations, Basic I, Basic II, Intermediate I, Intermediate II, Advanced.
Other ESOL Levels of Study: Civics, Introduction to Computers, Microsoft Office Fundamentals.
