| C.W. Post to offer 10-Week ESL Course |
| January 17, 2002 - Is your native tongue something other than English?
Do you wish you could improve your English language skills to communicate
better at work, with your children's teachers or your doctors, or
to get into an American college? Spoken language is the key to good
communication and can be a determining factor in getting an education,
securing a job, obtaining appropriate medical care or even getting
what you need when you're shopping.
The English Language Institute, part of the School of Continuing Studies at the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University, is offering two 10-week courses in English as a Second Language (ESL). Classes begin February 5. The program is geared toward adults whose native language is not English and will include programs for ESL speakers of all levels - beginning, intermediate, and advanced. The course will cover four main skill areas: conversation (listening and speaking), grammar, reading and writing. A 30-hour course will meet on Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the C.W. Post Campus, 720 Northern Blvd. (Route 25A) in Brookville. Tuition is $170 plus a materials fee. A 40-hour course is offered on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6 to 8 p.m. at either the C.W. Post Campus, or at Glen Cove High School, 150 Dosoris Lane, Glen Cove. Tuition for this course is $225 plus a materials fee. In-person registration and placement interviews for the 30-
and 40-hour courses Tuesday, January 29 at 6 p.m. in the Adult Student Lounge on the second floor of Hillwood Commons at the C.W. Post Campus, and at Glen Cove High School. Saturday, February 2 at 9:30 a.m. at the C.W. Post Campus, in the Office of Continuing Studies, room 222 in the Administration Building. Students may register in advance, but must attend one of the placement interviews listed above. C.W. Post will also offer an intensive Summer Immersion Program for ESL students beginning June 3. Classes will be held four days a week, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the C.W. Post Campus. As members of the Summer Immersion Program, students will have full access to the C.W. Post Campus and its resources. Participants will receive a certificate of completion and will be eligible for F1 student visas. Room and board are available for out-of-town students.
