| The English Language Institute (ELI) began classes in June 1996 with five students. Since that time, the program has experienced continued grow and now serves more than 90 students, most of whom are preparing for study
in undergraduate or graduate programs at
Missouri State University.
The ELI offers
five
levels of study in core areas of writing, grammar,
reading/vocabulary, academic listening skills, and speaking skills,
as well as optional spelling and pronunciation classes. |
 |
| Through an intensive twenty-five
hours per week, students have the opportunity to prepare for the
language challenges of American classrooms. The focus of the English
Language Institute, therefore, is to equip ESL students with the
necessary language skills to achieve success in the degree program
of their choice and to enhance their potential for future employment
after graduation. |
