Sutter County Adult Education

ESL classes are designed for students, 18 years and older, whose native language is not English. Classes are designed for students who need to improve their language skills. All classes integrate reading, writing, listening, speaking and computer skills as it relates to everyday life. Our program consists of assisting students to improve their English language skills by participating in group settings. Classes are offered in a variety of levels from beginning to advanced. All new students will be assessed with an initial reading test to determine the class level.

ESL Beginning / Intermediate class focuses on speaking and listening. Students also spend time on grammar, reading, and writing. Students in this ESL class have the opportunity to practice their skills with teachers, students, and classroom facilitators.

 

ESL Advanced classes are designed for students who have met a proficiency level and gained a better understanding of complex grammar. Students will be given various opportunities to practice their oral communication and writing skills to help develop analytical and critical thinking skills. Students will perfect their reading skills in which they will be able to recognize different topics, understand vocabulary in context, and make inferences.
