Foothill College offers six levels of academic English for non-native speakers. We also have a noncredit class for students who finish ESL classes in adult education programs. For a description of a course, click on the title of the course.

Level 1 is for students who already speak English with conversational ability. Students who have never studied English or do not speak English with conversational ability should enroll in ESL courses offered by the Adult Education departments of their local high school districts. Here are four:
  1. Mountain View-Los Altos Adult Education

  3. Santa Clara Adult Education
  4. Palo Alto Adult School
