If your academic English skills need improvement, Snow College has an excellent English as a Second Language Program (ESL) to help you succeed.
Created in 1976, Snow College has one of the best English language programs in the western United States. With its small classes (12 students on average), convenient campus, and excellent teachers, Snow College offers some real advantages over larger schools.
There is! We also run a regular schedule of Conversation Classes, which help you practice English with native speakers in a more relaxed, natural setting. There’s no set curriculum or homework – just turn up and talk! It’s a great way to meet new people, work on your speaking skills or accent, and improve your listening skills.
If you’re interested in receiving extra academic or linguistic support, get in touch with us and we’ll be happy to explain some more options.
