Intensive English Program
During the Fall and Spring semesters, the Intensive English Program (IEP) offers five levels of intensive English language instruction: beginning, intermediate, advanced, and advanced plus.
Each level of instruction is designed to be completed in one semester and consists of courses in four core skill areas as well as content-based courses that have been designed to meet student needs. Language study is directed by a set of student learning outcomes (SLOs), which build on each other to ensure that IEP students are working toward the skills they will need at the university. These SLOs have been selected and organized based on research and recommendations for best practice in English language instruction.
Classes meet 3 or 4 days a week for a total of 18-20 hours of instruction per week. Students at each level of instruction (except for Advanced Plus) are required to take courses in Speaking & Listening, Academic Reading & World Culture, Extensive Reading & Vocabulary, and Writing, & Grammar. Students at the Advanced Plus level take six courses designed to introduce them to academic work in American universities, including English for Academic Purposes, English in the Sciences, Business English, and Literature Written in English. All courses incorporate modern technologies that assist in language learning.
