  1. Accelerated Learning Program for ESL Students at PCCC

  2. * As of Spring 2013, there will no longer be a Level 001 as we know it. It will become a non-credit part of our ESL program at PCCC!

  3. * Students who score below our new Mid to High Beginner cut-off score on the ESL placement test will be directed to Continuing Education - 12-week program - Combined Skills curriculum - Prepare students for re-testing into our academically focused, intensive, non-credit Beginner SHINE Campsat PCCC.

  4. SHINE Camps at PCCC“Soaring Higher IN English” Offering intensive, accelerated learning camps for individuals seeking academic proficiency in English

  5. Beginner SHINE Camps at PCCC“Soaring Higher IN English” -Mid to High Beginner students who do not reach the Low-Intermediate level cut-off score on the ESL placement test will join this non-credit, academically focused program. - Intensive 4-week Beginner SHINE Campsessions will be held prior to and during each semester. - Upon re-testing, students will either enter the credit program or be permitted to attend one more intensive camp session in order to raise their scores.

  6. Intermediate/Advanced SHINE Camps - Students who receive a score of 6 on their ESL department writing final at any level and, as a result, do not pass their class will have the option of attending an intensive, 2-week Inter./Adv. SHINE Camp prior to each semester. - These camps are only for borderline students that just need a little more practice to reach the next level, not students that need longer than two weeks to improve enough to be ready for the next level. In order for students to be eligible to take the workshop, they will need the following:

  7. teacher recommendation • a portfolio of original and revised homework and in-class essays • class final • level leader approval - The process is similar to the appeals process. The instructor must meet with the level leader immediately after getting the results of the department final. S/he will select borderline students and present their portfolios and class finals to the level leader. If the level leader approves, the student would be given the option of taking the Inter./Adv. SHINE Camp. - Upon successful completion, they will advance to the next level.

  8. Workshops • Student Success Workshop - A week-long orientation workshop specifically designed for ESL students prior to their first credit-bearing semester at PCCC, which will aid in their transition to college • Combined Skills Workshops– Focused remediation and tutoring for all levels including C.E. students • Study Skills Workshop - for non-credit BeginnerSHINE Campstudents - a simplified version of the College Experience study skills material.
