Course Description:

'' The English Language Institute (ELI) of the University of Hartford offers a comprehensive academic program designed for International Students who need to improve their English language skills.

Students receive 25 hours of instruction per week, Monday through Friday, in the classroom and the audio/video Resource Center. This is supplemented by work in private tutorial sessions and through computer-assisted language learning. Courses emphasize oral/aural skills, reading comprehension, vocabulary development, grammar usage, and writing skills development. The institute also offers English for Special Purposes, which integrates language skills with specific career goals.

The English Language Institute is located on the University’s main campus. ELI students have the full privileges of the Mortensen Library, the Gengras Student Union, and the Health Resource Center. Classes are small, and students are placed according to the results of entry tests taken during the ELI orientation program the first day of the semester. The ELI has proven to be an excellent transition from studying in one’s native language to full-time academic work in English. In addition to improving language skills, the ELI provides the necessary background in United States academic protocols and American culture. The classes are separated into the following levels:

Level I: Low Intermediate Proficiency.

Students in this level usually study for three or four semesters before achieving proficiency suitable for academic study. (TOEFL 390-449)

Level 2: High Intermediate Proficiency

Students in this level usually study for two or three semesters before achieving proficiency appropriate for academic study. Note-taking and test-taking practices are given at this level. (TOEFL 450-499)

Level 3: Advanced Proficiency

Advanced students usually study for one or two semesters before beginning academic study. Eligible students (TOEFL 520-549) participate in the Academic Challenge program where they take one academic course for credit. This course is considered part of the students’ full time program.
