SAMPLE LISTING OF RECOMMENDED  ESL/ENGLISH SCHOOLS & LANGUAGE PROGRAMS
(located in Los Angeles and surrounding communities) -- in Alphabetical order: 

Please Note:  Glendale C.C. offers full-time "Credit ESL/English" instruction during the regular FALL & SPRING Semesters, and can issue the SEVIS Form I-20 for either "Language Training" or "Associate Degree" studies.  International students can apply for either program -- depending on their Academic and English background.  [The TOEFL or IELTS would NOT be required for the "ESL/Language Training" Form I-20 from Glendale.] 

The College also recommends the following ESL Language Schools as additional options for students planning both English & full-time Degree studies in the U.S.  Prospective students can then "transfer-in" to GCC following successful completion from these ESL/English programs.
