Syracuse University sponsors the English Language Institute (ELI) to provide English language instruction to international students and visiting professionals. It is administered through University College and offers instruction, from low intermediate to advanced levels.
The ELI provides intensive study of the language for those who must improve their English for academic or professional reasons. Its goal is to prepare participants to use English as quickly and effectively as possible. Instruction is offered in English grammar, reading, writing, listening, speaking, and pronunciation. Films, lectures, area trips, and special events are part of the program and are designed to help students learn English on an accelerated basis.
Students may take a series of 15-week courses. During the summer, two 6-week sessions are offered. Short and long-term courses can also be designed for individuals or groups with specific needs and disciplines.
Completion of the Level IV (academic proficiency) course will waive the University TOEFL requirement for undergraduates.
