There are many different types of ESL programs available in Dallas. Some are designed to prepare students for academic programs of higher education and are offered for more hours per week at a higher cost. Others are offered at no cost and provide students with opportunities to practice listening to and speaking in English. And, there are others that fall somewhere in between. You should choose an ESL program for yourself or a family member based on your needs.

The best source of up-to-date information regarding informal, low cost ESL programs in the greater Dallas area is the DFW International Community Alliance's Guide to English Classes (ESL) for Adults.

In addition, you will find more formal, academically oriented programs listed under Continuing Education at the Dallas County Community College District (DCCCD) campuses.
