Full-Time Intensive Program
The curriculum consists of seven proficiency levels from high beginning to pre-university. In any given session, the appropriate courses will be offered for the proficiency levels represented in the enrollment. Classes are limited in number of students. As a general rule, the lower the proficiency level, the lower the number of students per class. Classes meet four periods each day, Monday through Friday.
Students also have elective classes. Available electives vary from term to term; recent offerings have included photography, Internet English, American movies, music, and art. Provision is made for TOEFL preparation, and classes assist students in pronunciation, test-taking strategies, US culture orientation, and university study skills. Daily assignments are given for all classes.
One institutional TOEFL is given in each term to all ELI students; the cost of this examination is included in the tuition fee. The average gain in total TOEFL score for full-time ELI students is five to six points per week, but some students have increased their scores significantly more.
