Dr. Anne Mabry, Program Coordinator

The primary goal of the ESL Program is to enable students to function effectively in English and to succeed academically at our University. Throughout the ESL Program, instruction in speaking, pronunciation, accent reduction and computer technology plays an important role; however, because academic success depends so heavily on the ability to write effectively, the primary emphasis of ESL coursework is on academic writing. The Program consists of several levels of coursework which include ESL equivalents of the All-University Requirements (AUR), English Composition I and II.

Student Support Services
The ESL Program provides the following academic support services for students registered in ESL Coursework:

The ESL Tutoring Center offers free one-on-one tutoring in writing
The Computer Language Learning Center provides students with a state-of-the-art computer lab for coursework and individualized instruction. The lab is open to all ESL students free of charge.
The ESL Resource Center is a small lending library consisting of books, audiotapes and videotapes designed to help students with their individual language-learning needs.
The English as a Second Language Program in association with the Multicultural Center hosts the Center for Imagination in Language Learning (CILL). Each year CILL sponsors the Conference on the Role of the Imagination in Language Learning. The proceedings of the conference are published in The Journal of the Imagination in Language and Learning. The ESL Program also publishes Second Stories, a collection of prose and poetry by students in the program. The ESL Program also offers a two part Certificate Program in American English and the Culture of the USA.
