The ELC prides itself on its experienced and highly qualified faculty. All ELC Instructors have masters' degrees, and many have lived and taught English all over the world. There are four to six levels of regular day-time classes. Students will be assigned to the appropriate level of English instruction based on the placement test given at the beginning of each session. Proceeding to a higher level normally requires two seven-week sessions.
Students receive evaluations of their progress in the middle and at the end of each session.
Each student will also receive a Certificate of Participation and a written evaluation at the end of each session. Admission to the ELC does not mean admission to Old Dominion University. For information on applying to Old Dominion University, please see the Old Dominion Home Page. Housing Students at the ELC are eligible for on-campus housing most times of the year. In addition, many types of off-campus housing are available.
