This class is offered to students who have had at least two years of English as a second language. Designed to be the transition between ESOL and mainstream English, Transitional English focuses on reading, vocabulary, language mechanics, writing, and speaking, helping students develop overall language proficiency as well as a better understanding of literature. Short pieces of fiction and non-fiction constitute the course readings. Limited class size provides ample time for one-on-one instruction, and students are encouraged to move into more challenging English offerings, as soon as they are ready, at any point in the year.
