The ELI offers intensive courses for the improvement of student skills in the English language. Faculty members emphasize the development of communicative ability in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The curriculum consists of eight proficiency levels. In any given session, the appropriate courses will be offered for the proficiency levels represented in the enrollment.
Class size is limited to insure instructional quality.
Students must be at least sixteen years of age and seriously interested in learning English. Classes meet four periods each day, Monday through Friday. All students may purchase the University meal plan, which provides daily meals during the semester for a very reasonable cost. The computer-assisted language learning laboratory is an important part of each student's program. Students also can use the laboratory for e-mail, internet information retrieval, and word processing.
