The English Language Improvement Program provides courses for international students who need to improve their English language skills. These courses are available to graduate, undergraduate, and special students who are officially registered at Indiana University and who are non-native speakers of English. They are designed for students who require additional English language training.
All courses are non-credit.
However, in all other respects, these courses are similar to other university courses, i.e., grades are awarded and they meet visa requirements for full-time status. Placement in the appropriate courses is based on a student's performance on the Indiana English Proficiency Examination, a locally-prepared test. Students should register for the examination at the International Center on Jordan Avenue. Designed to correct lingering pronunciation problems and to improve aural comprehension skills, with greater emphasis on the latter. Meets four periods weekly for eight weeks.
