English as a Second Language Institute offers five 8-week courses per year. Each session starts with the orientation on the first day of the school session coupled with a written placement test and an oral interview for all ESLI students. The written part of the placement test includes three sections: Listening, Reading, and Language Use. The oral interview functions as a tool of diagnostic assessment: in essence a check up for incoming ESL students. The ESLI offers a variety of personal services to aid students in adjusting to life in the United States. These range from meeting students upon arrival at the airport to providing information on specific services required by students to individualized counseling.
