INTENSIVE ENGLISH PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Intensive English Program (IEP) is designed as a non-credit to help non-native speakers around the world gain a functional command of English in grammar, listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
The Core Program is taught in 4 modules of listening/speaking, grammar, reading, and writing. Students may register for as many sessions as they want and may add electives like Conversation or TOEFL preparation.
The program has seven levels, catering to the beginning English speaker as well as advanced students. The summer program offers an intensive 10-week session packed with 16 weeks’ worth of material. Spring and fall classes meet Monday to Thursday from 8 a.m. to 1.20 p.m., and summer classes meet Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 1.20 p.m.
On completion of this quality, intensive program, students can expect to use English successfully in the workplace and interact well with English speakers on a linguistic and cultural level. Students who are so inclined will also be able to have a successful academic experience in an American institution of higher learning or to pass the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).
In addition to our core program, we offer elective courses. These classes are offered weekday afternoons, evenings, and Saturdays. The focus is on such topics as conversation, TOEFL, and business English. Please consult our catalog for current listings: ppp.utep.edu
