The English Language Institute was founded to help international students learn English language skills and make cultural adjustments to a new country.  We focus on your safety and comfort, your understanding of the
U.S. culture, your enjoyment during your time with us, and your fast, comprehensive mastery of English. All of our services and programs are designed with these goals in mind.

The main program offered by the ELI is the intensive English program, which emphasizes English language training for academic preparation.  In this course, you will be prepared to use the English language in a way that is beneficial to your later studies at a U.S. university.  Many professionals also find this course helpful because its goal is the proper use of the grammar, idioms, writing styles and vocabulary commonly used by educated speakers.  However, some professionals are more interested in speaking skills than writing skills, so the ELI offers a choice of Writing or Advanced Conversation at its upper levels. The ELI also offers a separate Business English program to foster business language skills.

Many students worry about their TOEFL score.  The main ELI program will help prepare you for the TOEFL.  The ELI also offers an afternoon short course in TOEFL Preparation for an extra charge.  TOEFL preparation software on the ELI laboratory computers will help you prepare for the test.  The laboratory is free to all ELI students in the afternoons. 

Instructors and administrators at the ELI want you to learn English as quickly and as well as possible.  All efforts possible are made to help students achieve their language goals quickly and efficiently.
