The Academic ESL for Educational and Professional Advancement Program serves and supports non-native English-speaking students who are seeking and ready to acquire intermediate and advanced academic language proficiencies and competencies. Our Academic ESL Program supports these students’ college and career advancement by intentionally infusing two key components into our second language acquisition oriented program student learning outcomes (PSLOs): 1) the LMC Institutional/General Education student learning outcomes, which exist and function to prepare students to succeed in general and career education courses as well as students’ chosen major coursework; and 2) the thinking dispositions (i.e., the Habits of Mind) that research has shown most significantly support student success, and which are equivalent to the very “soft skills” that industry has called upon higher education to help students attain. Additionally, our instruction takes an appreciative, strengths-based approach to teach our multilingual immigrant, refugee, and international student populations by valuing the rich diversity they bring to our college classrooms, respecting their language learning goals as additive and commendable, and empowering them toward academic and career engagement and success.
