The English as a Second Language Institute at Eastern New Mexico offers courses to assist international students or others who need to improve their English in order to succeed in their university studies. Courses are taught at the high-intermediate and advanced levels and focus on academic skills. Courses offered in the ESL Institute: Academic Listening and Speaking; Academic Reading and Writing; Academic Vocabulary and Grammar; Research Writing; Integrated Skills; Integrated Skills Lab; Conversation Practice. Students in the full ESL program take 18 hours of classes each week. Students who qualify by virtue of a placement test and oral interview may be enrolled in fewer hours of ESL, allowing them to begin study in their majors while continuing to improve their English.

The Summer ESL Institute gives students a chance to brush up on their English skills immediately prior to the regular academic year. Classes meet five days a week for two hours and fifteen minutes each. The two primary courses are: Academic Listening and Speaking; Academic Reading and Writing. In addition, students will spend two hours in the language lab each day.
