Speaking, listening, reading and writing are integrated in a style similar to that of a typical American university class. I.S.E. is the better choice for students who plan to enter an American university or who need English for a job or profession. Conversational Accuracy class helps students to better understand the structure or grammar of the English language in order to speak correctly. Students practice these skills in many different situations. Students MUST interact in English to complete activities and projects, both in and out of class.
Choices vary from term to term.
E.C.P. is the better choice for students who want general conversation, who do not yet have clear goals for studying English, or whose focus is on living abroad. It is recommended that students select the program which best fits their goals for studying English . Both I.S.E. and E.C.P. offer beginning through advanced levels. For students with academic or professional goals who plan to be in the N.I.C.E. program for more than one term, E.C.P. may also be a good place to start, while getting adjusted. It is possible to transfer to between programs in subsequent terms.
