Overview

Intensive English Language is a six-level writing, listening & speaking, grammar and reading course designed for English learners from novice to advanced levels. Each level challenges students to go beyond their comfort level and experiment with language structures of different complexity. Writing: Students will write for different purposes, discover sentence variety and emerging mastery of mechanics in the context of essays. At the advanced level, they will analyze and employ techniques to produce a variety of well-focused, fully developed and organized essays. Listening & Speaking: Learners will improve their listening and speaking skills and language competence. They will discern and understand English pronunciation and learn to communicate fluently by reducing their accent if it impedes communication. Grammar: Students will learn to recognize a variety of English sentence patterns in listening, and reading and will be able to produce those patterns in their own speaking and writing. They will focus on developing control of the form and meaning of important grammar structures, especially those used in writing. Reading: Learners will develop critical thinking skills to understand, analyze, discuss, and write responses to ideas expressed in adapted academic readings. They will refine academic reading skills with an emphasis on speed, vocabulary development, and analytical comprehension.

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
