School of Writing, Literacy and Languages

The programs and courses in the English Department dive into creative and technical writing skills and use the study of literature to develop communication and critical thinking skills and to better understand ourselves and the world.

If English is not your native language, CCBC's Academic ESOL classes will help you gain the skills needed to succeed in work, school and everyday life. Work your way through the ESOL classes at a pace that will improve your listening, writing, reading and speaking.

Learning another language delivers practical and life-enhancing skills that make you a more competitive job-seeker. The study of world languages expands your perspective on the human experience and is key to understanding art, literature, music and culture.
