English Language Enrichment Program

As you begin your journey to the United States, you may experience a difference in language. Many students from time to time need additional training to assist them with writing and speaking in the English language. Although there are many similarities between the U.S. classroom and the classroom in your country, the U.S. classroom is influenced by the country's historical roots, cultural values and prominent figures throughout the country's history.

The English Language Enrichment Program at Mountain State University offers intensive English study to students whose native language is not English and who do not meet the language testing requirement for University admission.

English language training focuses on developing social, educational and cultural understanding of the United States through close interaction with an instructor or "mentor." The dialogue surrounding the class provides a warm environment which promotes learning through a combination of classroom activities related to grammar and composition, fieldtrips and community activities. Students successfully completing ELT and earning the minimum TOEFL scores are well prepared for transition into freshman level courses.
