ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE | SUFFOLK COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE

Offers three ESL programs for students who are non-native speakers of English and may require specialized English language instruction. The three ESL programs offer instruction in listening, speaking, reading, writing and grammar to students for whom English is a second language. The ESL programs include both part-time and full-time developmental classes on a noncredit basis* and a third program which offers developmental classes on a credit** basis. The aim of all three programs is to provide limited English-proficient students with a functional knowledge of the English language. The programs furnish students with the necessary communication skills to secure gainful employment, perform more effectively in daily life situations, and enroll in further college-level courses, if they so desire. Students should be aware that all ESL courses, credit or non-credit, are considered developmental. Therefore, they do not fulfill any degree or certificate requirements. Students who are interested in non-credit ESL classes can call: (631) 451-4859 Ammerman Campus in Selden; (631) 548-2645 Eastern Campus in Riverhead and (631) 851-6519 Grant Campus in Brentwood
