IEP

language skills of non-native English speakers to the level needed for study at a college or university
in the United States. We encourage students to reach this goal as quickly as possible. Teachers in

Requirements for Admission
All students admitted to the program must have earned a high school diploma and must show that
they or their sponsors are able to pay for their living expenses and tuition while in the United States.

Curriculum
There are seven levels in the IEP. All levels meet for 20-24 classroom hours each week. Levels One
through Five use audio-visual materials, as well as campus computer and language laboratory
resources. These levels concentrate onlistening, speaking, writing, and grammar.
Level Six is a high intermediate academic reading and writing class, which focuses mainly on
writing. After completing Level Six, most students are ready to begin academic work at a college or
university. However, some additional English may be recommended to help them adjust to their new
environment. In Level Seven students focus on written analysis of authentic texts. This gives them a
clear idea of the kind of work which is required by American universities. At levels Six and Seven,
students also select from a variety of courses in advanced grammar, advanced pronunciation,
business, computer skills, commutation, film, literature, test preparation and the World Wide Web
to their particular needs and interests.
College and University Placement
Graduates of the Center for English Language Training have gone on to pursue careers in such
areas as physics, art, music, chemistry, business, education, and even teaching English as a foreign
language. offer careers guidance to qualified students who want to apply either to Indiana University
or to other colleges or universities in the United States. Admission, however,to the Intensive English
