A student's ability to understand the English language is tested in five different areas. The student is assessed in speaking, listening, comprehension, and reading and writing.
The tests are approximately thirty minutes in duration and are administered by the ESL faculty at Massasoit. Except for Transitional ESL, these courses carry three credits and can be used for a general, liberal arts, or humanities elective. Results of the test are given back immediately.
Massasoit’s ESOL courses are advanced college-level courses. Potential students whose first language is not English must be assessed for English as a Second Language rather than for Introduction to Writing, English Composition, or Preparing for College Reading. Students must register for an ESOL evaluation. Students will be placed in College ESOL courses, if appropriate. Students not ready for Massasoit’s college-level ESOL classes will be directed to alternative programs for further development of English skills.
Please call extensions 1790, 1821, 1830, 1785 or 2010 to register for an ESOL evaluation.
