Whether you are a beginner or an advanced speaker of English, our classes make the difference that can help you progress quickly. Our small classes allow for maximum individual attention, and our teachers are qualified, caring professionals who share a common goal of helping you to succeed. We assess each individual student’s English language needs and plan a program to meet these needs. You will be tested and interviewed when you arrive to determine your proficiency levels in speaking, listening, writing, grammar, and reading. We will then recommend the appropriate classes for your personal abilities and needs. IEI’s curriculum is divided into six levels. Levels 1 through 5 provide a basic foundation in English for all students. Level 6 allows a student to concentrate on advanced English skills necessary for particular academic, professional, and personal needs. Students can prepare for the TOEFL, MELAB, or TOEIC tests through a solid knowledge of English and practice in test-taking techniques. Our program prepares you linguistically for success in university or business through concentration on reading, writing, listening and note-taking, and discussion skills, all while perfecting your structure through our grammar classes. Full-time students receive twenty-five hours of instruction per week for seven weeks per term with an appropriate balance of group and individual work. Serious students who attend all classes, complete homework assignments, and attempt to speak only English inside and outside the classroom can expect to complete a level during each seven-week term.
