UCR Comprehensive Learning Center


EAP/ESL Area

English for Academic Purposes
English as a Second Language

The UCR Learning Center provides English Language Learners with the opportunity to develop their writing and language skills in a one-on-one setting. When English Language Learners bring assignments to the Learning Center, an English Language specialist or peer coach will review important writing and grammar points and will make suggestions for improvement. We will not correct or edit assignments, but we will make every effort to help you understand and make progress in the writing process.

The websites linked on this page can help solve problems specific to EAP/ESL learners. Some sites provide grammar exercises and help with common trouble spots for EAP/ ESL students (such as proper use of articles and prepositions).

For assistance with EAP/ESL issues or if you have questions, please contact RCTC's EAP/ESL instructor, Abby Pinsky. You may email her at abby.pinsky@roch.edu
