Our Program

For Spring 2021, all classes will be online. All classes are a live class with an instructor.

Our non-credit ESL classes provide adult, non-native speakers of English the opportunity to improve their English language skills in order to advance in the workplace or to communicate effectively as a member of the community.

The Continuing Education Department offers Beginning, Intermediate and Advanced classes that include coursework in all four domains of English – reading, writing, speaking and listening and are designed to increase proficiency in the English Language. In addition, we offer writing classes that focus on the grammar, structure, and content of sentences, paragraphs and short essays. We also offer a conversation class that aims at improving speaking skills, listening comprehension skills and an understanding of conversational English.

Classes are offered during the day and evening. Students can take advantage of our small class sizes and our hands-on professional instructors who are there every step of the way, helping each student reach their goals. Learn to communicate in English in a warm friendly environment at Bucks County Community College.
