Advising ESOL Students
If you are advising students who have taken ESL courses and have questions about ESOL placement, courses, prerequisites, or non-ESL course recommendations by English level, support is available.
First, review the Notes in Degree Works. You’ll see who has previously worked with a student, if the student has met English, math, and science prerequisites, and if current ESOL professors recommend ESL electives (ESL 139 Pronunciation, ESL 158 Oral Communication, or ESL 179 Grammar).
Next, take a look at the NEW online Advising Handbook. It is available on the Professional Development tab in Blackboard and is updated regularly. For ESOL resources, go to Chapter 6: Placement Information > English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL).
Pam Fornieri, ESOL faculty, is available to provide mini-training sessions or answer questions as needed. Email pfornieri@monroecc.edu or call (585) 292-2354.
The Global Education & International Services (GEIS) office now located in 11-211 is another place to go for support. Email mccglobaleducation@monroecc.edu or call (585) 292-3170.
