English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL)

About Our Program

The English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) program is designed for students interested in learning the English language. Beginner to advanced levels are offered in-person on the Brockton campus throughout the school year. Our courses are designed for adult students with varying levels of English-speaking ability – from those that speak very little English to those that are conversational and want to master the language.

Due to high demand, the Community Education ESOL program will now use a lottery system to select students for available seats in our English classes.

The Lottery for the Spring 2026 semester will open on December 1, 2025, and will close on December 22, 2025.
