Welcome to the MHC ESOL Program!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ESOL Program supports MHC students who do not consider themselves native English speakers (and a whole variety of other students who have interesting and complex relationships with academic English). Support options include workshops, courses, 1-1 meetings, and group meeting programs.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you get anxious about speaking in class? Do class discussions feel like they are moving too fast to jump into? Do you want to state your point but don\u2019t know where to start? Come to the SAW Program\u2019s Weekly Discussion Practice Group!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work with SAW mentors and your peers on activities to build fluency, to prepare for class, and to become a more confident discussion participant. The best way to build discussion skills is to actively engage in discussions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group is open to all who want to build their ability to maintain classroom level discussion, but it is particularly suitable for students who identify as second language speakers of English. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cross-Cultural Buddies Program<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The ESOL and LCC offer a great mutual network and exchange program for folks to know more people from diverse cultural backgrounds. It is a one-semester commitment during which you will meet regularly with your paired buddies to share and learn more about each other\u2019s culture, customs, languages, etc. There will be 1-2 kickoff and social gathering events per semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please feel free to email Jean Janecki<\/strong> (jjanecki@mtholyoke.edu), the coordinator of LCC, for detailed information about this program and upcoming activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
