English Language Acquisition (ELA / ESL)


WCC’s English Language Acquisition program, part of the Transitional Programs for College and Career department, is designed to assist speakers of other languages to improve reading, writing, and speaking skills in the English language. There is also a focus placed on learning American culture and employability skills. ELA is also known as English as a Second Language (ESL).

ELA classes focus on group conversation, grammar and writing instruction and reading comprehension. United States citizenship classes are also offered at Wayne Community College and other locations throughout Wayne County at various times.

Over 30 countries have been represented in WCC’s ELA program! Ready to join? Contact us today.
