Kellogg Community College is hosting an English Language Learning Open House in Coldwater this month to provide information and assistance to those interested in improving their English language skills and comprehension in classes at KCC.
The free Open House will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, June 22, at KCC’s Grahl Center campus at 125 Seeley St. The event is open to anyone interested in learning more about ELL studies at KCC.
English professor Elyse Jozlin, who teaches many of the ELL classes at KCC, said the Open House will provide information about the classes offered at KCC this fall. Jozlin will also go over scholarship information, and a representative from KCC’s Admissions office will be available to help anyone who wishes to apply to the College.
KCC launched a series of intermediate and advanced ELL classes last fall, and added three introductory level classes in January. All levels of the four-credit classes are designed to help students improve their English language skills across categories including reading and writing; grammar and communication; and speaking and listening.
“These classes are useful to anyone who wishes to further their knowledge of the English language, and they’re also helpful to anyone who wishes to study further at KCC or transfer to a university,” Jozlin said. “The classes are also helpful to high school students who wish to dual enroll.”
The classes offer a great way for students to immerse themselves in the English language and become much more comfortable with their college content, she said.
For more information about the English Language Learning Open House or future ELL classes at KCC, contact Jozlin at 269-565-7877 or jozline@kellogg.edu or visit www.kellogg.edu/ELL.
