The Intensive English Program is designed to give students rapid improvement in their English proficiency.
The class schedule is consistent each 8-week session:
While the order of the classes may change per session, the class subjects are Reading, Writing, Grammar, and Listening/Speaking.
Students benefit from comprehensive academic vocabulary development and fluency enhancement, as well as networking opportunities with multiple on-campus groups. This allows the student to be fully immersed in the language in both structured and unstructured settings, making their experience more effective and rewarding.
