Our Program
For Fall 2020, all classes will be online. All classes are a live class with an instructor.
NOW YOU CAN LEARN ENGLISH FROM ANYWHERE!
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.
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.
Our Fall 2020 semester has started, but we are still accepting students for our writing, conversation, and pronunciation classes.
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.
