Center for English Language Acquisition and Culture

Improve and Enhance your English Skills

Because we are a culturally and linguistically diverse community, Saint Peter’s University offers you a wide range of resources to support and promote academic success if your first or strongest language is not English.

Through placement assessment and interviews, we are able to determine your linguistic needs in order to provide you with services to improve and enhance your English skills.

We offer English Acquisition classes for students who need help with composition reading and writing.  We also offer Conversation Practice for community members and Graduate Tutoring for Saint Peter’s graduate students.

Language labs are equipped with state-of-the-art Mac computers where you can benefit from the many software programs and web based programs that promote language acquisition.
