LANGUAGES

FAU’S Intensive English Institute provides instruction in all areas of the English language for international students, scholars and professionals. You can learn English for business, a career, or to prepare yourself for study at an American university.

Instruction in 6 Levels
You are first tested and then placed into one of six levels—basic through advanced. Small classes are taught by highly qualified and experienced ESL instructors who provide a friendly and stimulating atmosphere. A special feature of this program is the use of computers in learning English as a Second Language. Classes are held Monday through Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. You will receive instruction in:

• listening comprehension
• grammar
• reading, writing and composition
• vocabulary development
• conversation
• multi-cultural understanding

If you are at an advanced level in English and wish to sharpen your language and study skills before entering a degree program at an American university, you should consider enrolling in the Bridge Program. You will develop solid skills in: understanding lectures and taking careful notes; test-taking, particularly answering essay-type questions; writing research papers; making effective class presentations; working on group projects; and using advanced grammar structures. Prerequisite: You must meet one of the following criteria: Score at least 500 on the TOEFL, or 90 on the MICHIGAN test, or have successfully completed Level 5 in our Intensive English Institute.

The Form I-20 is available for non-immigrant students who need student visas.
