To enroll in the ELI, all students must take the NMC English Placement Test. English instructors at the college review and discuss each student's test scores.
Instructors then recommend courses to each student.
All courses require class attendance, homework and independent work in the NMC Educational Enrichment Center. Supplemental laboratory work is required and is assigned by the instructor. This is a low-beginning level, intensive ESL course for students with very limited proficiency in English reading and writing. Supplemental laboratory work is required and is assigned by the instructor. It is the first part of a 3-part listening and speaking sequence.
