Yakima Valley College is now enrolling students for fall quarter 2024 English Language Acquisition (ELA) classes. ELA, also known as ESL, is the study of English by non- or limited English-speaking adults who want to learn English. Classes combine listening, speaking, reading and writing, with an emphasis on listening and speaking skills.
“I highly recommend this program to everyone trying to learn or improve their English,” said student Linh Heintz. “As a person who did not have much education and studying experience, I’ve learned a lot and now I am able to communicate more in English.”

Fall quarter begins September 23. Day and night classes provide flexibility for busy, working students. Tuition is only $25 per quarter.
