BCC Wins Grant to Continue Offering Free ESOL Courses

Berkshire Community College (BCC) announced today that it has been awarded funding from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to continue offering English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) courses as part of a Community Adult Learning Center grant. The state funding totals $237,546, which represents 102 ESOL seats.

The BCC Adult Learning Program (ALP) helps students prepare for higher education and career training by providing high-quality instruction and referral to community resources as needed. Many ALP students have enrolled in for-credit classes at BCC and have gone on to careers such as certified nursing assistants, restaurant managers and business owners.  

The program offers beginner, intermediate and advanced ESOL classes that focus on reading, writing, speaking and listening skills. To fill out a free application and explore community resources for ESOL students, visit berkshirecc.edu/alp. Spanish translation is available on the website.
