It provides intensive communicative instruction and practice in the use of American English. The Institute emphasizes cross-cultural communication skills and speaking, listening, pronunciation, reading and writing. In addition to classroom instruction, a computerized language laboratory is available for student use and as a supplement to classroom instruction.

Besides intensive class work on language and culture, the Institute provides a regular nonacademic evening program and social events to help students adjust to the area and to provide opportunities to practice English skills. The Institute offers five weeks of intensive instruction in July and August.

Students at similar levels of proficiency are grouped into small classes for instruction in conversation and speaking, listening comprehension, reading, writing, pronunciation, and grammar. Classes are held 23 hours per week. Students are encouraged to use the language laboratory to complement course work.
