Overview of the AELP Program
The American English
Program (AELP) offers American English for Academic Purposes (AEAP), a
multilevel program designed to meet the language and academic
cultural-adaptation needs of non-native speakers of American
English. Classes in American English for Special Purposes (AESP),
courses in basic literacy, are offered through Continuing
Education.
Following admission to the College, students are administered the American English Language Test (LOEP) at the Assessment Center to determine their current level of American English proficiency, as required by College regulations. The Students are then placed at the appropriate levels in core courses that emphasize American English grammar, composition, reading, speaking, and listening. Elective courses in collateral skills are available, including some content or "major" courses at the more advanced AELP levels. Throughout the program, courses emphasize all features of American English, including communication, critical thinking, and various skills necessary for successful college work in the United States.
Students study with American English, reading, and speech faculty. Students for whom American English is a second language are further supported by special counselors. In addition to classroom work, laboratory work is required both to satisfy course requirements and for needed practice in written and oral/aural communication.
