This half-day academic program is perfect for International students that want to improve their academic English before applying to an American college or University.  In addition to the three academic classes, students will also receive preparation for the TOEFL exam which is required by most U.S. colleges and universities for non-native English speakers.  The academic day includes the following courses:

Core/Integrated Skills 

This class emphasizes grammar and its integration into speaking, listening, reading, and writing that contribute to successful communication.  Language skills are quickly developed through dynamic and communicative projects.

Reading and Writing

Students read and discuss high-interest texts on current topics and use the vocabulary and structures they learn to help develop their written communication skills in a variety of situations. Students expand vocabulary through reading and writing activities.

Speaking and Listening 

Students develop listening strategies, practice conversational skills and improve pronunciation, fluency and accuracy. Activities and assignments are designed to improve spoken English and listening, and the understanding and use of idiomatic expressions.

The Intensive English Post Graduate Year also includes college advising from the IMG Pendleton College Planning and Placement Office.  All post graduate students are assigned a college advisor that will guide students through the application and recruitment process.
