Is this program right for you?
If you really want to work on your oral fluency skills, you will benefit and enjoy being a student in the Downtown Intensive English Program. You will meet students who

  • need English for their jobs
  • are going to graduate school and need more practice speaking in class
  • need better oral skills to interact in an English-speaking community

Because we focus primarily on speaking skills, if you need lots of help with reading and writing skills, the Campus Intensive English Program might be a better place to improve these skills.
