Columbia West College (CWC) is an ACCET-accredited ESL school in Los Angeles committed to providing quality English as a Second language and test preparation instruction that equips students with the English language and test-taking skills necessary to achieve their academic, professional/vocational or personal goals.
CWC will:
• Provide rigorous, outcome-based, context-specific instruction that exceeds students’ expectations and is relevant and applicable to their goals
• Create a supportive, positive environment, including appropriate student services, that enables students to acquire English language skills in an efficient and timely manner
• Enhance students’ self-efficacy in their use of English language skills to allow the confident application of their newly-acquired skills in varied settings
CWC is located on the 12th floor of an office building with convenient off-site parking. The school’s roughly 4,000 square feet are divided among 5 classrooms (with one classroom serving the dual purpose of classroom and Computer Lab), 2 administrative offices, the faculty resource/conference room, the marketing/sales office, the student lounge area, the employee break room, the records room and the reception area. Nearly all classrooms boast views of the Los Angeles skyline and are equipped with a whiteboard, a CD player, a laptop computer, an LED projector and speakers for classroom use.
Students are always welcome during school hours to borrow materials from CWC’s collection of instructional and recreational books, games, CDs and DVDs to supplement their classroom instruction. Students are also always welcome to use the Computer Lab during school hours to complete homework assignments and take English proficiency practice examinations, such as the TOEFL.
Our job as ESL educators goes far beyond simply teaching English. Its one thing to teach a student English, but it is a completely different thing to teach them the experience of English. With a forward-thinking attitude, we are constantly striving to be at the forefront of the latest technology and learning methodologies in the industry. Our curriculum is structured on a blended learning model, one that is heavily e-based and fully corpora informed. In so doing, we are able to flip our classrooms, allowing our students to dictate their own education and interact with the language as they learn it. We strongly believe in providing an authentic education, one that simulates English in action, as it exists today. It is our goal as an institution to ensure that, upon completing our program, our students have reached levels of proficiency that meet or exceed CERF standards. More importantly, however, it is our goal to endow them with capability to practically apply those skills in future pursuits, whatever they may be.
Our office is located in Glendale, CA, North of Los Angeles, less than a 20-minute drive from the downtown area.
