The English Language Acquisition (ELA)  program assists resident immigrant and refugee non-native speakers in learning essential English for success in the workplace and in increasing academic skills for further education. Classes, which may be offered during the days and evenings at the Benton Center and the Albany campus, are taught in a supportive environment that promotes cultural competence. Some classes are available remotely. Every new student must attend an orientation and participate in level testing in order to enroll in the program.

LBCC Community Education sometimes offers additional classes for English language learners who are visitors to the United States and not permanent residents.
