Lone Star College-Montgomery offers ESOL (ESL) courses for non-native speakers who are interested in improving their English. Coursework focuses on the key elements of language acquisition—reading, writing, grammar, and oral communication. This intensive English program is a cost-effective way for students to improve their language skills for academic and personal purposes.
The Program
Our ESOL (ESL) program offers four levels of English training to bring learners up to proficient levels in speaking, reading, writing, and grammar. Beginning integrated skills classes and advanced skills class are also available for students who need additional assistance.
The program is dedicated to immersion learning. An interactive and engaging learning environment is fostered both inside the classroom and outside. In addition to highly qualified instructors, small class sizes, and technology-enabled classrooms, student learning is supported by campus resources and activities. These include free drop-in conversation groups, pronunciation practice, a language lab, one-on-one tutoring, and library resources.
ESOL (ESL) classes include fully online classes as well as hybrid classes, which are scheduled in the mornings and early afternoons, with some evening classes. The program follows a 16-week semester schedule.
ESOL (ESL) students may be enrolled as credit or non-credit (continuing education) students, and an ESOL Advisor can assist with this process. Before enrolling in classes, students are required to take a placement test, the ESOL Accuplacer. On completion of the test students meet with the ESOL Advisor to determine the appropriate classes for their level.
The ESOL program is available to international students on F-1 visas; LSC-Montgomery is authorized to issue the I-20 for students who need to obtain an F-1 visa.
