ESL Program Introduction

The Language and Culture Institute at Oklahoma Christian University offers an academic preparatory English language program for non-native speakers who seriously desire to improve their language skills.
Rather than prepare students to sit for an exam, we prepare students for university study at Oklahoma Christian University.

We offer highly experienced, highly educated teachers and small class sizes. Our program allows each student individual attention, which helps develop conversational skills. We help students with college preparatory reading and vocabulary, composition, grammar, speaking skills and academic writing.

Most important, we are genuinely concerned with student progress. We seek to understand student goals to help students quickly reach a high level of English proficiency.
