summer language institute

curriculumThe Summer Language Institute promotes an informed curriculum with the goal of leading students to grow in their communicative competence of the English language. Methodologically, class activities integrate the four skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking. The aims of the classes are to encourage students to analyze the system of language usage, to expose them to a variety of authentic English language materials, and to encourage communication skills. The faculty meets together weekly in small groups for curricular support.


materials There is no one set of required curriculum materials, but rather teachers are encouraged to plan lessons from the variety of sources which are available. In general, appropriate materials are clearly written, and promote student involvement, and lead the student progressively though authentic material. We currently have a good variety of teaching materials to use and are continually upgrading our resources, as our budget allows. Teachers are encouraged to bring their own resources for materials as well as to use the wealth of resources on the Internet.


classes Classes are held daily for three weeks in July. Students benefit from 6 hours of language instruction daily. Students are grouped by English language ability. Approximately, 220 students enrolled; the average class size is 12-18 students.

The morning classes are general English language classes integrating reading, grammar, speaking, listening and writing activities. In the afternoon, more specific courses in speaking, reading, film studies, business English, and listening are offered. Students and faculty also meet in semi-structured small groups for conversation practice. Extra-curricular activities include Bible studies, board games, sports, and music groups.
