Union County College (UCC) will afford non-native speakers the chance to learn English, yet still maintain their regular weekday schedules, through a non-credit English-as-a-Second Language program to be offered on Saturdays this fall at its campuses in Cranford, Elizabeth and Plainfield.

The course will be held from 11:15 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. on Saturdays, September 26 through November 14, at the Cranford or the Elizabeth campuses. UCC will also offer its traditional “Beginning ESL Grammar,” in which participants practice basic grammar and simple instructions; “Intermediate ESL Grammar,” which deals with the same content on a slightly higher level, and “Advanced ESL,” which focuses on advanced English gram
mar and conversation, while also improving students’ listening skills. The courses will be held from 9 to 11 a.m. on Saturdays from September 26 to November 14 at the Cranford, Elizabeth, and Plainfield campuses. “Beginning ESL Conversation,” during which participants practice conversational skills in English while also improving listening skills, and “Intermediate ESL Conversation,” which covers the same material on a slightly higher level, will be conducted from 11:15 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. on the same dates and at the same locations.
