English As A Second Language
Welcome to the study of English as a Second Language at McLennan Community College. Our ESOL courses are designed to help international and local students develop better written and spoken English fluency, for success in English leads to academic, personal, and professional successes.
Mission
The mission of the English as a Second Language (ESOL) component of the Department of English at McLennan Community College is to provide developmental level reading, writing, listening, and speaking training to our multi-cultural student body.

To accomplish our mission, the ESOL courses focus on the following goals:
- ESOL 0300: Academically oriented listening/speaking and reading/writing at the Intermediate level of English proficiency.
- ESOL 0301: Academically oriented listening/speaking and reading/writing at the advanced level of English proficiency.
