English as a Second Language at WNCC
 

ESL Summer Institute
July 21 - August 15, 2008
(Maximum enrollment: 12 Students)


This four-week program allows non-native speakers to sharpen their English skills in preparation for academic coursework. A basic vocabulary and understanding of English language structure are necessary to enroll. Activities and techniques will focus on language production. Students will receive four hours of classroom instruction in the morning and one and one half hours of tutoring and discussion group each evening. Each Friday, students will visit nearby areas of interest. This is a non-credit course.

All students must provide sufficient funds to cover all expenses of the ESL program and their continued attendance at WNCC (if they wish to continue). Students must show evidence that they will have at least $1100 to cover the expenses of the ESL program, and $11,287 to cover all of their educational and living expenses per school year. Each student will provide a bank statement from their personal bank account (or their sponsor's bank account) showing sufficient funds for this purpose.

Students must show documentation upon arrival at WNCC that they have received an F-1 visa. Tourist (B-1) visas will not allow the student to attend classes at WNCC.

Students Under 18 Years Old
Students who are under the age of 18 (minors) should have a guardian in the United States. In the event of personal emergency, accident, illness, etc., the signature of a guardian must be provided before assistance can be offered.
