TOEFL Preparation Course

If you are planning on taking the Internet-based Test of English as a Foreign Language, this course can help you improve your score. This test, more commonly called the TOEFL iBT®, measures the English proficiency of nonnative speakers of English. It is the most widely recognized test of English proficiency in the United States, accepted for admissions purposes by colleges and universities throughout the country.

The TOEFL iBT is administered in secure testing locations throughout the world, including at the LCI in Blacksburg. Unlike previous versions of the TOEFL, this test measures all four language skills — speaking, listening, reading, and writing — with an emphasis on assessing the ability to communicate in English.

Intensive English Program

This course series helps international students meet their personal, academic, and professional goals through intensive English language study. Our exceptional professors and state-of-the-art technology ensure a superior program of instruction.

The Intensive English Program is an academic preparation course designed to help international students make the transition to American academic life through full-time instruction in English as a second language.
Students enroll in two required core classes and an optional elective each term and are engaged in these classes for 20 to 24 hours per week. Classes are divided into 10 levels according to language proficiency. Our highest levels make up a concentrated preparation program to help students transition to university classes.

Four hours per week are devoted to special-interest electives, which may be taken optionally and at extra cost. TOEFL iBT® Preparation, offered each term, is available to students who have high-intermediate to advanced language proficiency. The elective offerings vary by session, but typically include American Idioms, Orientation to American Culture, Skills for University Success, Advanced Academic Listening, American Media, and Business English.

Conditional Admission for International Students

If you are an excellent student and wish to apply to a degree program at Virginia Tech or Radford University but do not have good English skills or the necessary TOEFL score, don’t worry — you may be eligible for conditional admission!

Our conditional admission for international students program lets you work toward meeting the ­requirements of attending Virginia Tech or Radford while you study at the ­Language and Culture Institute.

Acceptance into the program is based on an evaluation of your high school ­records. As a conditionally admitted student, you are accepted into your ­chosen program on the condition that you develop your academic English
to the required standard through our Intensive English Program.

Benefits of conditional admission

Through the Intensive English ­Program, you will develop many of the skills necessary for success in a U.S. university, such as research, critical thinking, and academic writing skills.
Because the conditional admissions program allows you to start your studies at the LCI, you will have time to adjust to life in the United States.
Challenges such as homesickness and culture shock can be dealt with before you begin your regular university coursework.
You will have more time to explore the university and its course offerings.
At the LCI, you will be in a comfortable, supportive environment, ­surrounded by faculty and advisers who have vast experience helping ­inter­national students.
