Reading Area Community College’s ESL Program offers credit-bearing courses for bilingual Spanish/English and non-native English speaking students. In other words, our students are admitted to RACC, eligible for financial aid, and work toward their college degree. ESL courses are also available to those who only seek to improve their English language proficiency.
Our student population, both U.S. resident and international, is diverse. Our students come from 29+ countries, including the United States of America, and speak 19 languages.
Our Mission
We nurture a culture of student success.
Our Goals
We are committed to:
- helping students develop academic literacy, English proficiency, and study skills necessary for college and life success.
- providing academic support throughout students’ careers at RACC.
- inspiring students develop skills of effective team work in a multicultural setting.
- enhancing respect to diversity at RACC.
Registration Process
To register for ESL courses, a student needs to apply for RACC, take a placement test, and submit FAFSA, an application for financial aid. Placement into ESL courses is based on scores on the reading and writing sections of the placement test. After the placement test, a student should meet with an academic advisor or Eleisha Moreno, Interim ESL Program Coordinator, to register for appropriate ESL courses.
