Tokyo International University of America . In addition, a number of intensive programs in English and American Studies are offered each summer for a variety of groups sponsored by other educational institutions. The goal of the institute is to help students succeed in an American university. Students are in class 6 hours per day, Monday through Friday, for a total of 30 hours per week.
Students practice and further develop English language skills and academic skills at the same time.
For example, they do lecture listening and note taking, research and essay writing, and reading and discussion using materials related to specific academic themes. The skills and topics on which the UEP focuses are carefully selected to prepare students to meet the challenges of the American university academic environment. The UEP is designed for the serious student who has advanced English language skills but understands the need to perfect those skills. Under special circumstances, students with scores below 500 may be considered for admission. Upon completion of the UEP, an evaluation of each student who has received conditional admission is provided to the Office of Admissions.
