English as a Second Language

Mission

The ESL program promotes the acculturation of international students into the academic and social community of NMH. Its emphasis in the classroom is on acquisition of the linguistic, metacognitive, and social skills necessary for transitioning into mainstream classes. In addition, by validating these international students’ cultural perspectives, it gives them a voice in the NMH community beyond the confines of the academic classroom.
