English
Hennepin Technical College has many courses in Reading and Writing. Whether a person is learning the complex structure of English, went through the U.S. education system, or is somewhere in between. Hennepin Tech has English courses to help students become more proficient in using the English language.
English is something we use every day--and not just spoken English. It is the language of commerce and education in the U.S. It is the common language of newspapers, websites, textbooks, magazines, and pleasure reading. We write emails, reports, and the occasional memo in the workplace. If we are creatively inclined, we write stories, poems, or plays. The English Department at Hennepin Tech addresses these varied aspects of the English language, from developmental skills to advanced college writing.
