Columbia West CollegeAbout the
Columbia West College (CWC) is 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.
Core Values
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
• Promote excellence in teaching by hiring duly qualified instructors and providing all employees with opportunities for continued professional development
Focus of Study : In our most popular program, students can improve their English language skills through a communicative and interactive approach to language learning. In the core classes of Grammar, Reading/Writing and Listening/Speaking, students develop confidence in their ability to understand, speak, read and write English fluently and accurately and to communicate effectively with native English speakers in professional, academic and everyday situations. The instructional approach helps students to build their skills across levels and to progress from beginner to advanced levels of the Program at a comfortable yet challenging pace.
Benefit, Goal of this course :
Feel more confident and comfortable communicating in English at school, work, or in daily life
Perfect program if you want to learn English for personal, academic, or professional reasons
Learn the conversation, reading, and writing skills you need to succeed

Curriculum : Our Essential English and Essential English Plus English as a Second Language (ESL) Programs consist of six levels of instruction, ranging from beginning to advanced; our American Communication program consists of three levels of instruction (beginning, intermediate and advanced) and our remaining programs offer varying levels of instruction, depending upon the program. Our instructional approach is designed to help students acquire proficiency across levels and to progress from the preproduction stage to advanced fluency. Our experienced faculty and staff help to create a low-stress, engaging environment that optimizes the learning experience. Students are placed in the appropriate level of English based primarily on the test scores achieved on the English Placement Test they take when they first arrive at CWC.

Surrounding Area
Columbia West College is conveniently located in the center of Los Angeles in a neighborhood called Wilshire Center (known informally as Koreatown). We are ten minutes west of downtown Los Angeles, ten minutes south of Hollywood, and 10 minutes east of Miracle Mile. With several popular shops, restaurants, and public transportation points close by, there is always something to do after school!
Facilities
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.
Activity
At Columbia West College, we are very deliberate with the types of field trips and activities that we offer. In fact, we classify our field trips and activities into 2 categories – cultural and social. Cultural field trips and activities focus on learning about American and local Los Angeles culture and history. For instance, we’ve gone on field trips to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the Downtown LA Artwalk, The African-American History Museum, Farmer’s Markets, and Olvera Street, all of which teach students about Los Angeles or American culture and history. These field trips are also often tied in directly with our school curriculum, so students get to take their educational experiences outside the classroom. However, we also understand the need for social interaction and the development of conversational English skills. So, we also offer social field trips and activities where the goal is to make friends and practice English. Examples include picnics, beach outings, ski trips, karaoke nights, and even overnight trips to destinations like San Francisco and Yosemite. With our well-structured field trips and activities, Columbia West College offers an unparalleled educational and cultural experience!
