Classes for the Fall 2021 semester begin August 31, 2021. For the Fall 2021 term Emerson College is planning to return to in-person teaching, and the above courses each meet twice a week for 1 hour and 45 minutes.

Emerson offers ELL courses for students whose native language is not English and who would benefit from academic and professional English language support. These courses are free of charge, non-graded and focused on providing students with the resources to enhance the skills they currently have to further their success at Emerson and in their future careers. They are not remedial/beginner courses, instead designed to advance collegiate-level English language skills.

These courses are designed for graduate students, with undergraduate students having the option to participate in spring semesters. The courses focus on preparing students for academic success, a deeper understanding of American culture, and professional careers beyond Emerson College. Students enrolled in ELL courses will engage in specific academic writing and reading activities to comprehend structure/organization and goals of academic written assignments necessary to achieve in graduate level academic courses.
