A Students who are progressing well ahead of others at their level are promoted to higher levels throughout the term. A major evaluation of progress is made approximately every 7 weeks and outstanding students are often promoted at that time. A Students in Level 4 and Level 5 who have demonstrated excellent study skills may take undergraduate classes in the School of Continuing Education. A Students are expected to attend all classes. A The ALCC has an excellent computerized language lab.
Students can readily access e-mail and the Internet in any one of several computer labs.
A Our courses run to the end of July. There are approximately 4 hours and 15 minutes of class each day. As much as possible, we do try to find host families through our Culture Bridges program so that students do have an opportunity to have dinner and visits to American homes. A The Culture Bridges program, a joint program of ALCC and the Education Continuum makes every effort to connect students with native speakers. We try to place students in a level that is appropriate for them so that the classes will not be too easy or too difficult for anyone who is motivated.
