English as a Second Language (ESL)

Virtual Learning Course

In a virtual classroom students participate through a combination of weekly online conferencing (Zoom, Google Meets, etc.), that serve as class time, and assignments completed through an online platform (Google Websites, Google Classroom, Canvas, etc.). Students will be required to attend and participate in weekly online conferencing class meetings with defined days and times set by the instructor. Virtual learning supports students by offering classroom time through online conferencing, enabling interactions between the teacher and students, as well as the ability to view presentations of material and videos, and engage in group activities.

English as a Second Language (ESL)
