ESL Courses
Here you can find a list of ESL courses with a description of each. This is a good place to compare what is taught in the different courses.
The overview gives you a map of the ESL courses. People enter the program at different levels depending on how much English they have studied before and where they are placed through the assessment process. (See the Getting Started section for more on assessment.) This chart shows the progression of levels in each skill area.
