English as a Second Language (ESL) at MiraCosta College

Credit ESL

"Credit ESL courses really helped me out a lot. The classes especially helped me learn to write essays and prepared me for my other courses. The instructor was also very helpful. I could tell she really cared about us and spent time with each student."

-Erika Shiraishi

English Language and College Skills Institute

“MiraCosta’s English Language and College Skills Institute

has been helpful to me because not only have I significantly improved my English skills, but I have also learned how to use English in my everyday life. This is a great place for international students who want to improve their skills in order to enter college or simply to become more confident with their English.”

Noncredit ESL

“I found out, surprising to me, that MiraCosta’s ESL classes offered me independence by allowing me to read and write e-mails and postal mail. Also, I could listen and understand English on the telephone.”
