Intensive English Program During the academic year, ESL Classes meet Monday through Friday on the campus of the University of Kentucky. During the summer, the same 20 hours a week of instruction are given Monday through Thursday, with longer weekends to enjoy excursions or summer travel. All classes are highly interactive. Students are graded on such activities as homework, written reports, presentations, in-class participation, tests, and quizzes. Pre-Level One Pre-level one is for students with no working knowledge of English. Students will learn basic vocabulary and English structure. Level One Classes meet daily for five hours of listening/speaking, five hours of reading, five hours of writing, and five hours of grammar per week. Students become familiar with the interactive language classroom. They produce non-academic English on familiar topics and teachers give regular feedback and evaluation. Instructors and staff help students adjust to their new cultural setting and offer assistance in and out of class. Computer assisted instruction (CAI) is introduced. Level Two Classes meet for five hours of listening/speaking, five hours of reading, five hours of writing, and five hours of grammar per week. Students work toward gaining control of basic patterns such as understanding and responding to questions and statements; understanding the main idea of conversations; reading intermediate materials on cultural topics; writing narrative and descriptive paragraphs about familiar topics. Students also make use of the prewriting, drafting, and editing stages of the writing process. Level Three Classes meet for five hours of listening/speaking and five hours of reading, five hours of writing, and five hours of grammar and TOEFL preparation per week. Level Three is the bridge between basic English instruction in Level One and Two and academic preparation in Levels Four and Five. It emphasizes production, fluency, and accuracy. Common activities are listening and reacting to authentic speech, working in groups on presentations and analysis of materials, reading newspapers and a collection of stories or a novel to gain cultural literacy. Level Four Classes meet for five hours of listening/speaking, five hours of reading, five hours of writing, and five hours of grammar and TOEFL preparation per week. Level Four is the first pre-academic-preparation level. Students read, summarize, analyze, debate, and synthesize interdisciplinary texts and lectures. They write major essays, with commonly-used academic technology, on analysis, reaction, synthesis, and comparison; they ask questions about and take notes from lectures; and they learn to conduct formal presentations. Students learn how to document sources and learn the academic definition of plagiarism and cheating. Level Five Classes meet daily for five hours of listening/speaking, five hours of reading, five hours of writing, and five hours of grammar and TOEFL preparation per week. Level Five is the second half of the Center for ESL's two academic-preparation levels. Language and culture appropriate to United States educational institutions are developed. Students continue to work in the computer lab, when appropriate, with their writing instructor. Level Six Level 6 is currently the highest level in the Intensive Program. This level differs from the other levels because of a greater emphasis on integrating all skills. This level is designed to be repeated by students who are advanced but require further language study for their intended majors. Topics may change every semester. TOEFL The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is given to all students in the Intensive English Program at the end of each session.
