As part of the Intensive English Studies program, students have the opportunity to meet with native English speakers to practice their English. Students and their partners meet informally after classes to share conversations and learn about each others' culture. IES instructors emphasize the communicative approach in all classes. Conversation, dialogue, and role-play are integrated into the curriculum. Full-time faculty hold masters degrees and have taught ESL overseas.
All instructors are skilled and trained to address needs of individual students.
Our full schedule of social and cultural events, day trips and weekend excursions, allows students to continue practicing new language skills in real life, dynamic situations. The activities provide an introduction to the cultural richness of Boca Raton as well as the neighboring communities. Planned trips provide an opportunity to get to know the people and culture of South Florida. Students have the option to live in the University residence halls and eat in the student dining hall. As a residential institution, the majority of students choose to live on campus.
