This method increases writing productivity and improves readability of essays. Both the teacher and the student have a better opportunity to find the range of the student's writing problems and needs, and to focus on improvement. Also, since writing with a computer has become common in universities in the United States, our students receive the training and confidence to prepare their term papers in the format that professors expect. Also, during the first week of class, instructors carefully review the students' performance and can make adjustments in the level of course work so that students get full benefit from the program as they progress through the levels. At the end of each session, students take a final examination.
Student achievement is measured by teacher evaluations, test results and classroom work.
At the end of each session, teachers evaluate each student's language proficiency. The Center sends this formal evaluation to students and sponsors. Certificates of participation are awarded to all students at the end of the program. To make certain that our students enjoy their learning experience, we encourage daily improvement in their language skills. As absence from classes slows down this process, any student missing more than five percent of scheduled classes is placed on probation, and his or her sponsor is notified.
