a certificate in English as a Second Language (ESL).

Life in San Diego is culturally influenced by both American and Mexican norms mainly because of its geographic location. Also, this city has a long-time association with the U.S. armed forces given the expanse of its military infrastructures. Nevertheless, cliché or not, the city of San Diego has always been thought of by many as best for its ‘laid-back’ lifestyle as compared to the other popular and perhaps busier California cities such as Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Of course one’s perspective on such stereo-type description of the city shall only reach endless arguments, but the truth remains: San Diego is by far one of the best places to live in. For one thing, it’s a contrast from the hurly-burly morning rush off the city streets, and it’s a breath of fresher and smog-less air even from downtown or its suburbs. The business districts manage to depict a much composed and more relaxed pace amidst apparent stressors emanating from overextending corporate bigwigs within or outside the metropolis. A non-San Diegan can readily notice a different tone of voice, formal or casual, among those who were born and raised in the city thus exuding a distinct cultural taste.

The city of San Diego approximates a well-balanced access to the primal amenities of healthy living and maybe relatively progressive depending on one’s philosophical bend. It’s the excellent choice especially for those who may have opted to do a paradigm shift from the fast-lane-wrinkle-burdened 9-to-5 route to something better, something personal, and something

worthwhile.

The ESL program is offered to students whose native language is not English, and explores the English language as it

is used in the United States of America. The course is divided into three (3) levels in the order of student proficiency

and progression: Level 1 (Basic), Level 2 (Intermediate), and Level 3 (Advanced).

At the first class period, an assessment test is given to evaluate the proficiency and range of skill of the students. The

focus of the class is then based on the language needs of the students, such as reading comprehension and listening

comprehension, as well as idioms, street terms, and phrases that are used frequently in general conversation.

The full course of study is six quarters, two quarters at each level. Students who achieve the higher level through

testing will require less time. Since ESL is a non-degree program, students do not need to complete the full course

of study to move on to university level work. All students are given a final TOEFL examination at the end of each

quarter to evaluate their progress.

ES 100 Level 1 (Basic)

This course is designed for the student who is a non-native speaker of English. It explores the English

Language as it is used in America through multi-media and field trips, as well as class work. The introductory

level covers basic grammar and structure of conversational English. The focus is on pronunciation of words

and the introduction of useful terms and concepts such as greetings, time, and dates. Various materials are

used including audio tapes, videos, cartoons, and newspapers. Small classes insure access to assistance

and the opportunity to progress individually.

ES 200 Level 2 (Intermediate)

This course is designed for the student who is a non-native speaker of English, but has some command of

the language. This level of study increases the student’s knowledge through field trips and the media, as

well as reading, writing, and conversation. The focus of Level 2 is on structural patterns, vocabulary building

(including “street talk”), and intermediate complex sentences. Students are encouraged to experience only

English during class as current events and cross-culture issues are explored. Various teaching materials are

used such as: videos, newspaper, audio tapes, and computer programs.

ES 300 Level 3 (Advanced)

This course is designed for the student who is a non-native speaker of English that has moderate command

of the language but wants to increase communications skills and articulation. This level of study brings the

student into the areas of business, politics, and current world events. The student’s knowledge and skill is

expanded through conversation, reading, and writing. Small classes afford the student the opportunity to

explore cross culture issues, to promote understanding, and to increase fluency through field excursions

and interactive exercises.
