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 Fall 2025 semester will open on August 1, 2025 and close on August 22, 2025.

You must complete the application below to be entered into the lottery. This DOES NOT mean you have been selected.
