Core Intensive English Program
IEI's core program offers intensive English language instruction in four skill-focused modules designed to rapidly develop the student's fluency and comprehensibility using English. The classes also provide cultural awareness training to prepare English language learners to function comfortably in the U.S.A. Our teachers use innovative methods and communicative activities consistent with the Natural Approach and based on a Focal Skills Program design.

Our full-time core intensive program students attend skills-focused and elective classes 20 hours per week from Monday through Thursday. On Fridays, our students select from additional personal and group language learning experiences--including tutorials, conversation partners, chaperoned trips, and individual or small-group self-study.

The core intensive program uses Focal Skills assessments to place students into one of the four sequenced modules: the Listening Module, Reading Module, Writing Module, or Immersion Module. Every four weeks students are tested again to see if they are ready to change their skill focus.

Other Courses offered:
Customized short intensive ESP courses for groups of five or more students; Summer Medical English Programs for Medical Professionals, Doctors and Researchers; TOEFL Workshops; FREE Conversation Partner Program For Full-Time IEI Students.
