Students who receive permission to enroll in the program are tested in writing, reading, speaking and listening. Based on the outcome of placement tests, the English Language Institute will recommend to the graduate departments the skill areas that each student needs to work on. Students studying less than four hours of English per day may be allowed by their department to enroll in some graduate courses as well. At the end of a semester, students take exit exams. Based on the outcome of the exam and the student's work during the semester, the program coordinator will recommend to the graduate department that the student enroll for all graduate courses or continue studying English.
Most students complete their English requirements in a semester.
