The Intensive English program is structured to provide the following: 3 levels of instruction: Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced; full-time classroom instruction: 20 hours per week (4 classes per day, 5 days per week) for 15 weeks; additional opportunities for self-study; practice in listening, conversation, reading, writing, and grammar; computer-aided language learning integrated into classroom instruction; qualified and experienced teachers who have Masters degrees in linguistics and TESOL; opportunities for campus-related activities; individual help when needed; UofL admissions advising.
