Participate in this 24-week class and improve your language skills.

Ideal candidates are highly motivated non-native English speakers with a basic level of proficiency in spoken English and a desire to improve their reading and writing skills.

Classes will focus on language acquisition of task-related duties and common expressions used in the workplace.

Those selected for this highly competitive program will be required to attend two 60-minute classes per week. Classes will be held at UCLA and up to three hours of paid release time will be given each week to accommodate class and travel time. The program will have two breaks between each quarter. You will be permitted two absences per quarter, with the third absence resulting in withdrawal from the program.
