ESL Program Introduction

Our IEP (Intensive English Program) is distinctive because each of the paired skills is taught by a different instructor. Students work with three teachers each day, thereby making the classes more interesting and giving students the chance to hear differences in pronunciation among native speakers.

TLC instructional methods promote English language proficiency through a diversified curriculum, including community outings, cooperative learning, and individualized instruction. Student success, as measured by certification, test scores, and skill-appraisal, demonstrates the association between LSI methods and student language needs.
