Program in American Language Studies


The Program in American Language Studies (PALS) is the English as a Second Language (ESL) curriculum at Rutgers. It provides nonnative speakers with the English skills they need for academic work in the United States. In August, international teaching assistants receive two weeks of classes in communication skills and teaching techniques. PALS also offers the following courses in the fall and spring semesters:

    Advanced Pronunciation

    Comprehension and Conversation

    Grammar and Composition

    Graduate ESL Seminar

Class sizes are limited, which permits teachers to give students individualized attention. Students must register to attend PALS courses, and the results of a diagnostic test determine their class placement. Supplemental assistance is available through computer labs. The PALS office is located at 226 Conklin Hall. For more information call Dr. Minoo Varzegar, director, at 973-353-5013 or email at varzegar@aol.com.
