Program Description The mission of the English as a Second Language program is to provide high-quality instruction in English as a second language (ESL) and orientation to U.S. culture to international students, visitors, and residents who are non-native speakers of English. English as a Second Language focuses on preparing students for academic study at Troy University and also offers language and cultural opportunities to groups and individuals outside of the academic framework. ESL offers an intensive English program of study at six levels for beginning, intermediate, and advanced students in the language skills of reading, writing, grammar, listening and speaking. Understanding US American culture is an integral part of each class.
