ELP Evening Program

 

In the ELP Evening Program classes, the language is taught with a combined-skills approach. These classes are offered for members of the community, visitors, and business people during convenient evening hours. New students are placed in one of 4 levels of instruction. 

At the end of each 12-week semester, students who fulfill the attendance and language proficiency requirements will receive a Certificate of Completion and will be promoted to the next level.

Our levels are:

  • Level 1: Beginning
  • Level 2: High-Beginning / Intermediate
  • Level 3: Intermediate / High-Intermediate
  • Level 4: Advanced

Lessons include:

  • Social conversation
  • Listening activities
  • Grammar
  • Vocabulary / American English Expressions
  • Reading practice
  • Writing practice
  • Pair and group work
