yesucan asked:


English is my second language, now my question is, that i want to take some college credit classes, are they gonna accept me, or do i have to finish ESL for me to be able to take credit classes, now I did take the TOEFL test the score is 61 and I know its probably a little low, but i know i can score higher. So what do you think, I just want your opinion, because I know I still have to call the college and talk to them.
Thank you…

For example, should the students be able to talk in their native language while doing oral learning? Does speaking of their native language help the learning of the second language at all?
