The English Proficiency Program (EPP) has been designed to empower students to take control of their learning progress by using can-do goals and by using a personalized learning plan. The overall goal is to gradually improve the students' communicative fluency and academic skills in order to become successful English speakers. The program is comprised of eight different levels (i.e., True Beginner through Proficiency). Most EPP students have a student visa and are committed to the study of English full-time (twenty hours a week plus additional hours of preparation at home).

As such, EPP classes assign project-based and task-based activities, as well as reading, writing, listening and speaking practice while emphasizing practical English grammar use/usage.

It takes sixteen weeks (320 hours) to complete each level. Classes are offered in the morning and afternoon, depending on enrollment.

The Short-Term English Program (STEP) is for students who do not have an F-1 student visa and who study for sixteen hours per week, typically four hours per day, Monday through Thursday. Classes are offered in the morning and afternoon, depending on enrollment. Similar in structure to the EPP program, it allows students to experience and participate in a comprehensive program (i.e., True Beginner through Proficiency) for up to twelve weeks.

STEP classes assign project-based and task-based activities, as well as reading, writing, listening and speaking practice while emphasizing practical English grammar use/usage. After the program, the students have a better sense of what language learning entails as they continue learning on their own. By being surrounded by long-term English language learners, STEP students can benefit from their commitment and determination.

Our program focuses on enhancing your conversational skills in English through engaging activities and interactive learning! In our conversation classes, students will explore a wide range of vocabulary, phrases, and idioms that will make your conversations come alive. Practice your pronunciation in our CMAR class.
