English Language Support
What is English Language Support at Aquinas?
The English as a Second Language Specialist provides writing assistance to international and domestic students who speak other languages as their first language and are improving their English writing skills as they write academic papers.
ESL students may have questions about other course work or non-academic writing. Any student interested in more information about our ESL support is welcome to set an appointment to find out more.
