I am Gail Kellersberger, Director of the English Language Institute. The program is a bit more expensive than our academic preparation program because it offers one extra hour per day of in-class instruction. The ELI offers an intensive Business English Program which prepares professionals to do business in English with Americans. Students must have intermediate English skills in order to enroll. Those whose skills are lower take intensive English first, then transfer to the Business English program when they reach the intermediate level.
Instruction is comprehensive.
English language skills are developed with business communication in mind. Graduates are ready to enter into business interaction with Americans. Graduation New students are assigned a level based on a placement test score. Because intermediate skills are required to enter the program, any student who scores below the intermediate level on the placement test must take intensive English first until the intermediate level is reached, and then may transfer to the Business English program. Promotion to a new level is possible every term Students receive Certificates of Completion.
