Calling all ESL students and teachers!

Have you ever tried the LearningExpress Library database? This database includes practice tests for reading and writing skills that can help you improve your ability to communicate effectively in English. The database MasterFILE Premier provides complete issues of magazines like Consumer Reports, Popular Science, and Time that allow you to practice your reading skills while learning about the world around you. If your Instructor gives you reading assignments in USA Today, use the Newspaper Source database to read articles from 1985 to as recently as the previous week's issue.

These databases are available to all Palomar students and staff from both the Escondido and San Marcos library locations. When off-campus students can still use them by logging on with their eservices ID and password.
