We are offering Citizenship Test Prep and Pronunciation classes over the Spring 2 session, to help individuals prepare for the speaking component of the US Naturalization Interview.

CESL offers many affordable, part-time options during the evening to students who may be busy with jobs or other studies. CESL part-time options can enhance your life or further your career. UA international students may brush up on particular English language skills.

CESL's part-time Evening Program is effective because it provides quality instruction through highly trained instructors in small classes which promotes close teaching-learning relationships between students and their teachers. CESL offers Arizona's only part-time community program, fully accredited by the Commission on English Language Accreditation (CEA). Our continued commitment to high-quality ESL instruction sets us apart from other part-time language programs.

Fall and Spring part-time Evening classes are offered for two hours from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m., two times per week (Mondays & Wednesdays or Tuesdays & Thursdays) for a total of 30 hours of instruction per class. Regular sessions start in January, March, August, and October of each year.
