Noncredit English as a Second Language

Noncredit English as a Second Language Classes are Free!

WHO WE ARE

Metropolitan Community College Adult Education provides noncredit English Language (ESL) classes to non-English speaking individuals living in the Omaha area. The classes focus on improving individuals' reading, writing, speaking, and comprehension skills in English, understanding American system of government, individual freedom, and responsibilities of citizenship.

There are two program pathways for English learners. There are enrollment-based classes and conversational English classes.

The enrollment-based classes require students to:

  • Attend an Adult Education Information Session
  • Take an introductory 3-week course [Transitional Learning Community (TLC)]
  • Complete Nebraska Department of Education onboarding activities (Career Pathways Intake and Interview, ONET Career Interest Inventory, Learning Styles Inventory, CASAS Pre-Assessment)
  • Complete computer literacy components
  • Take periodic CASAS assessment (every three months or a minimum of 40 instructional hours)

This program should be considered by students who have high level of commitment in terms of time, dedication, and discipline.
