English Language Learners

Body

A better future starts here

When asked what skills they'd like their employees to have, most employers answer: communication skills. Confident communication is the key to your success story. Build writing, speaking, reading, and listening skills with M State's English Language Learner (ELL) courses.

M State is committed to helping students develop their communication skills. For students who speak languages other than English, building these skills begins with ELL classes offered on our Moorhead campus and online (see class schedules for availability).
