The English Language Institute, the laboratory program of the Department of World Language Education in the College of Arts and Sciences, offers both intensive academic and non-academic English as a Second Language (ESL) courses to non-native speakers of English as well as language-related mentoring opportunities. Students at the Institute benefit from curriculum and materials development and research initiatives associated with faculty in both the Department of World Language Education and, through the joint Second Language Acquisition/ Instructional Technology Ph.D. Program, the College of Education. The Institute serves its students by bringing to its activities the full resources of a research extensive university. Students are given a placement test upon registering for the program. This test determines the proficiency level into which the student is placed, ranging from elementary, low-intermediate, high-intermediate, to advanced pre-university ESL.
Students attend non-credit classes 25 hours per week. International students on a USF I-20, F-2 and J-2 visa holders, as well as permanent residents may enroll part-time in the ELI. The integrated-skill, content-based curriculum includes training in listening comprehension, spoken English, grammar, reading, writing, culture, learning strategies, and a host of test prep elective courses (TOEFL, GRE, SAT, SPEAK) for upper-level students.
The English Language Institute is authorized to issue Certificate of Eligibility (I-20) to students who require a Student Visa (F-1) and who meet criteria set forth by the U.S. Bureau of Citizens and Immigration Services.
The cost of the program is $3,385.00 per semester, including health fee, activities fee, and a non-refundable application fee.
