ESL Information

Gainesville State College offers courses designed to prepare students whose native language is not American English for success in college credit courses. Placement in ESL is determined by a TOEFL score, placement testing, or professor's recommendation. In addition, students who score high enough on placement tests to enroll in college-level courses may also choose to take some ESL courses in order to enhance their academic performance. ESL courses carry institutional credit which does not count towards graduation. The College offers two levels of classroom communication, three levels of grammar, and three levels of grammar and rhetoric. Students have three attempts to exit each level. Students in Learning Support ESL must take ESL 0061 and ESL 0062 (Classroom Communication I and II). These courses include a College orientation component.
