Welcome to the ESOL Department
Greenfield Community College offers advanced beginner, intermediate, and advanced-level courses in reading, writing, and speaking the English language. Content temes in courses range from geography, history, culture, and nature to social issues, current events, and employment skills.
Each language course offers two special practice sessions each week, at no extra charge, where students receive help with their homework and additional language activities.
