In Fall 2007, ESL 150: Advanced Academic ESL was offered for the first time as an Online Hybrid course. The course is an online hybrid, meaning students will be required to meet once every week on Wednesday from 6:00 to 8:30 pm. However, the remaining three hours of course work will be completed via Insight, a program that CCSF is using for technology mediated instruction. For more specific details about the course have a look at the Fall 2009 ESL 150 Course Syllabus.

For all all students who are either enrolled in the course or on the waiting list, please send an email to your instructor Erin Lofthouse by January 19th. There will be a Mandatory Orientation on the first day of class, which is January 20th. The orientation will be in Health Center 201 at 6:00 PM. It is very important that you attend this orientation if you wish to succeed in this course.

You can find out more about online courses here at City College of San Francisco by visiting the CCSF Online Course Info page.
