Although all ESL classes integrate listening and speaking opportunities through student participation, specific listening and speaking classes focus on strategies for effective listening and speaking. Pronunciation and enunciation instruction and practice help students speak more clearly. Students have many opportunities through class participation and presentations to listen and speak. Class presentations given at the end of each session allow students to learn effective presentation skills and gain confidence in speaking. Rockford College has an established Conversation Partner volunteer program of students, faculty, and the greater Rockford Community, and each student is assigned one or more to practice English outside of class. Our language lab provides additional listening and pronunciation instruction and practice.

Reading/Writing classes teach students effective reading strategies, which will improve their reading comprehension, reading speed, and ability to summarize texts. Students will read extensively to build vocabulary and learn how to predict meaning and minimize dictionary dependence. Through daily and weekly writing assignments, students focus on effective writing strategies progressing from sentence to paragraph to essay development. Students study various types of writing objectives and learn how best to focus on clarity, cohesiveness, and interest for audience. Reading, writing, and speaking opportunities are combined when students read articles, write summaries and present the summaries to their classmates. Although some classes focus specifically on grammar, based on students' language levels, both reading and writing classes cover grammar components within the context of materials studied. Mini grammar lessons provide awareness and clarity of grammar aspects as students read and analyze reading and writing.
