Register Now for ESL Classes at Oakton Community College

English as a Second Language (ESL) classes offered by Oakton's Alliance for Lifelong Learning (ALL) focus on developing skills for intermediate-level students. These classes are meant to supplement, not replace, the free ESL classes administered by the Illinois Community College Board.

Intensive ESL helps students develop extensive language skills and cultural awareness. The 9 1/2-week class meets from 12:20 to 3 p.m. four days a week (Monday -Thursday), beginning Jan. 13, at the Ray Hartstein Campus, 7701 N. Lincoln Ave., Skokie. The course fee is $200. Preregistration in person is required. Call 847-635-1427 for information.

Composition for Intermediate ESL Students (COM A61) helps non-native speakers of English prepare for the writing section of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) required by colleges and professional accrediting agencies. Two eight-week sections of this class begin in January: COM A61-02 meets from 1 to 3:45 p.m. on Fridays, beginning Jan. 24, at the Ray Hartstein Campus; and COM A61-04 meets from 7 to 9:45 p.m. on Tuesdays, beginning Jan. 28, at Niles West High School, 5701 W. Oakton St., Skokie. The course fee for each section is $50.

Other ESL courses offered during the spring 2003 term include Conversational English Practice (COM A50), Intensive Grammar Review I (COM A70), TOEFL Prep Seminar (COM A45), Improve Your Pronunciation (COM A29), and Citizenship Education (HIS A15). For more information, call 847-635-1427, or visit www.oakton.edu/cont_ed/all.
