About New York University - American Language Institute
Located in Manhattan's Greenwich Village, NYU occupies some of the most exciting real estate in the country with 59,000 total students. NYU also has the highest number of international students at any University in the U.S. and is the largest private university in the U.S. The University has degree-granting campuses in New York, Abu Dhabi, and Shanghai and operates 11 global academic centers and research programs in more than 25 countries.
The NYU School of Professional Studies American Language Institute (ALI) provides a comprehensive program of English language instruction and evaluation. We foster an atmosphere where proactive learning precedes rote memorization. And, we believe that long-term retention depends as much upon what happens outside the classroom as in it. Our location in the heart of New York City provides incomparable access to the cultures of the world. We extend our classroom to the streets, giving you complete immersion in language and culture to help you learn how to express yourself with ease and accuracy.

This course is for students aged: 16-70
Location Type: University campus
Levels: Basic, Intermediate
The Comprehensive English Program (CEP) is a full-time, English language and American culture program offered to non-native English-speaking students from very beginning (Levels Intro, 1, & 2) to very advanced (Levels 7, 8, & 9) levels of proficiency. CEP classes meet Monday through Thursday for about five hours of class each day.
At the beginning levels (Intro–2), all classes are taught as integrated language skills classes designed to provide a comprehensive English learning experience.
At the intermediate levels (3–6), instruction consists of two morning comprehensive core classes and two afternoon English enrichment and engagement classes. Both core courses integrate all English skills. At these levels, students select two types of afternoon enrichment and engagement classes. One offers focused practice on a specific language or academic skill, such as pronunciation, vocabulary development, and TOEFL prep. The other invites students to explore a topic of interest and to develop their linguistic and cultural fluency and confidence through engaging in the real use of English. Topics include American film, history of New York City, art appreciation and business English.

studied General EnglishAmazing English Program
NYU American Language Institute (ALI) offers great learning opportunities. What I liked the most in the ALI English program was the teachers. They are so experienced and professional. Rather than simply letting students know grammar and vocabularies, they lead them to be truly engaged in class by providing creative and diverse activities. In addition, studying English at the ALI allowed me to broaden my horizons and gain new perspective in various relationships with a variety of people from different cultures. I miss every class at the ALI!
