The Responsibilities of Being a Student

Going to school at a college or university comes with a list of expectations.
  • Students need to come to class on time
  • Students need to be prepared for the lesson
  • Students need to do their homework
  • Students need to have time management. Writing a paper at 5:00 a.m. the day before a class is irresponsible
  • Students need to have materials organized and accessible
  • Students have to be willing to learn
  • Students need be responsible and pro-active. If a student misses class, they need to ask when returning what was missed, not wait for the Instructor to tell them.
Taking an ESL class at a college isn't just about learning how to speak, listen, read, and write fluently in English. It is also about being motivated, being positive, being organized, and being responsible. The goal of ESL L5 to to prepare you for the world beyond ESL. You will need to have all of these skills in addition to English in order to be successful in the United States.
