Academic English (ESL) Program

LCI’s Academic English (ESL) program focuses on academic preparation for undergraduate, graduate and doctorate programs. Our students can continue their studies at any university in the United States. The Academic English Program courses have six levels from beginner to advanced. The English for Academic Purposes program (AEP) at LCI is an intensive English Program with college-level English objectives.

A major benefit of the program is our TOEFL Waivers and Conditional Admissions agreements with major universities. To learn more, visit: University Partners.

The AEP program is a full-time language program with 24 hours of instruction per week given in five terms of ten weeks over one year. Students enrolling in the AEP program have an English language assessment to ensure placement in the appropriate level. Students can then progress through the levels until they are ready for university studies.

Each part of the program focuses on developing the student's effective communication skills in speaking, listening, reading, and writing at the level needed for success at an English-speaking university.

The AEP program prepares students for entry into the university or college of their choice or purely to learn English in a rigorous and challenging manner. Language instruction includes all the language skills with a strong emphasis on written work. Each aspect of the communication needed for university or college work is studied in LCI’s English for academic purposes.

A cultural component to assist students in their awareness and adaptation to life in the USA is part of all language programs at LCI.
