If you want to learn English, Central Texas College has just the program for you. CTC offers English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) training for International students and non-English speaking members of the local community. CTC combines in-class instruction with master teachers and cultural assimilation activities to create a learning environment conducive to rapid language acquisition.
The English as a Second Language Program, also known as the DSLA Program, is a 14-course program divided into beginning, intermediate, and advanced level courses which students take over three academic terms. Students with no TOEFL scores or scores under 520 initially pretest in listening, grammar, writing, and vocabulary for appropriate placement into required DSLA courses. This individualized course placement ensures that students do not waste time taking courses they do not need. The ESL program includes courses in grammar, writing, reading, listening, speaking, TOEFL preparation, and accent reduction.
Students wishing to enroll in CTC must meet all general admissions requirements. They must also meet specific admission requirements for international students. The faculty and staff of CTC want to ensure that you are successful in CTC's ESL programs. Therefore, we have established testing and placement guidelines that determine your course assignments.
Student Services
CTC provides comprehensive student services for international students through the Office of International Student Services. The Director and her staff work to assist foreign nationals in enrolling in CTC; adapting to college life in America; and enjoying the social, cultural, and educational opportunities of central Texas.
