English Language Programs
English matters. We are serving students from all walks of life and at all levels of English language competency, from pre-literacy to English for Academic and Business Communication. Our intensive, advanced programs provide career-specific technical English classes, teach basic skills within the context of job training, and assist refugees with limited English, refugees with foreign degrees, and immigrants in overcoming substantial cultural barriers. We meet the requirements for in-demand occupations or industries by designing short-term English language classes tailored to our community’s business needs.
Programs prepare all students for college, careers, and citizenship, and are offered morning, afternoon, and night at different locations. For many multilevel courses, daycare is available. For details go to elcajonadult.guhsd.net. All courses are free and require orientation and assessment.
Levels are recommended by office/teacher. Placement into course level is based on assessment and teacher recommendation. Register for our weekly ESL orientation through the “Registration” tab.
