Durham Technical Community College offers courses in English as a Second Language (ESL) to non-native speakers at several locations in Durham and Orange counties. Courses are free, but students must be at least 18 years old to enroll.
Beginning, intermediate, and advanced ESL classes are offered. These classes give non-native speakers of English the opportunity to develop their English speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills in real-life situations. Check the schedule of classes below for times and locations.
Specialized courses in pronunciation, conversation, reading, and writing are offered in the afternoons. Workplace ESL classes can be designed upon request; employers can call 919-536-7264, ext. 3226 for more information about worksite classes.
