English Language Acquisition
We welcome and support English language learners. And, we’ve created spaces where you will feel safe, welcome, and can thrive. Through classroom, small group, and online instruction, you can expand your English reading, writing, and speaking skills.
Our English Language Acquisition (ELA) classes and instructors will boost your confidence and make sure you are heard, whether you are conducting business, talking with a friend, or attending an event.
You don’t have to travel far. We offer ELA classes in Clinton, Columbus Junction, Davenport, Muscatine, and West Liberty. Register online. We do a pre-assessment and you get to attend an orientation before your first class.
