The Lincoln University Intensive English Program follows the mission of the University by providing the English language skills essential to a university-level education. By developing prerequisite language skills, the Intensive English Program supports the program for students entering academic studies, including the University’s general education: business, computer science, and graduate programs. The skill areas of reading, composition, grammar, listening comprehension, and speaking are taught. Although the classes are non-credit, the students are graded, and if successfully completed will receive a certificate at the end of the program. The program strives to supplement classroom instruction by making the computer lab available for the students. The lab has a qualified assistant available to help students during most open hours. The university library s also available for use by the program students. The IEP classes are small and conducted by qualified English instructors. The faculty is qualified by academic background and experience; they also possess an understanding of cultural differences and are sensitive to the needs of international students. Faculty members are available to help with academic concerns as well as other issues. The delivery system for the program combines classroom instruction with media enrichment and a variety of communicative experiences such as field trips and cultural events. The Intensive Program can be given in different levels of difficulty. It emphasizes working with the student at his or her own level and advancing to the targeted level of proficiency. Tutorial help is available when reqested.
