Essential ESL

Welcome to Essential English as a Second Language (ESL) at LAMC!

The purpose of the Essential English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) Program is to offer opportunities for students to begin their ESL experience or develop special skills for personal enrichment. All Essential ESL courses are noncredit and are mostly designed for beginning to intermediate-level English language learners. There are also speaking and pronunciation courses as well as ESL Civics and Job Readiness courses for all levels. Students who need higher-level ESL courses or want to prepare for college or professional-level English should consider the Academic ESL Program.
