A. An Intensive English Programme is a language-specialised programme which has been designed for those hailing from non-native English-speaking nations. One can also pursue this if one is weak in English or wishes to enhance his/her reading, writing, and speaking skills. It also helps one improve his/her grammar. At the end of this programme, students will be able to communicate well in English and the same will enable them to attend their subject classes which are taught in English. In the USA, those enrolled on this programme usually need to complete an 18-hour of coursework every week. This is an F-1 student visa requirement.
