Class attendance is required. Students who have poor attendance records, who do not prepare designated assignments or who break University rules and regulations are subject to dismissal from the IEI program. A certificate of achievement is awarded to participants who successfully complete the IEI program. There are six levels of each subject. Grammar, Reading and Writing classes are offered in the morning.
Students study and practice basic grammatical structures in both oral and written English.
Structures are introduced in the appropriate level and reinforced in succeeding levels. Students learn reading skills such as skimming, identifying the main idea and understanding vocabulary from context. Vocabulary development is also included as part of the reading program. Concepts such as brainstorming, outlines, topic sentences, introductions, support and conclusions are also taught. Students practice taking dictation, listening to and repeating information, taking directions, lecture notes, and listening to regional and standard pronunciation.
