The English Language Academy's Intensive English Program
The English Language Academy (ELA) offers English courses and activities that meet the personal and professional goals of our international students. The ELA is a full-time intensive language program focused on the language and academic skills used in university degree programs.
ELA classes are small, usually from 10 to 17 students, and they are taught by expert instructors.
Normally ELA students work in one level for the entire term-10 weeks in Fall, Winter or Spring; 8 weeks in Summer-before passing to the next level.
In the ELA, your level is decided by placement tests given at the beginning of your first term. These tests generally include an Institutional TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) and a writing sample.
