LAPC Department of English/ESL


Welcome

The Los Angeles Pierce College English/ESL Department offers a range of classes, from composition to literature, taught by dedicated faculty with abundant classroom and real-world experience. Each class is designed to help students build the critical thinking, reading, and writing skills they need to succeed — academically, professionally, and personally.

English/ESL Courses

Deciding on what ESL or English class is right for you is an important decision. We are happy to assist you in making academic choices that will help you achieve your goals.

Please note: As of Fall 2025, the State of California is implementing common course numbering throughout the community college system, resulting in the change of some course titles.

  • English 101 is now ENGL C1000
  • English 103 is now ENGL C1001

Learn more about Common Course Numbering.
