The Intensive English Language Program at Spokane Falls Community College helps learners improve competency in English and prepares them for entrance into Spokane Falls Community College and university studies beyond.

Core courses are integrated, combining reading, vocabulary development, writing, research techniques, grammar, listening, speaking and pronunciation in each class. There are four levels:

• 50-level: high beginner
• 60-level: lower intermediate
• 70-level: intermediate
• 80-level: upper intermediate/advanced

An additional project-based class, English in Action, provides students with the opportunity to use English in exciting situations. In this (college-credit) class, students may create a film, a newsletter, a memory book, a business or a music website while gaining valuable experiences both on and off campus.

Graduates of the Intensive English Language Program have gone on to participate in student government at the college and have been accepted into Bachelor and Master’s degree programs at North American universities. Those who returned home after their ESL studies have secured employment in their profession of choice.
