The School of Extended Learning’s
American Language and Culture Institute (ALCI) serves the needs of both international
and U.S. students who wish to improve their English language skills. ALCI’s primary focus is to ensure the academic
success of students whose first language is other than English. The Institute provides English Language
Learners a range of services designed to improve speaking, listening, reading, writing
and grammar skills as well as test-taking skills and TOEFL test preparation.
The ALCI offers an ELS Summer Youth
Program which provides international young adults an opportunity to be
immersed in the English language. Participants will receive English language
instruction, workshops on American culture and history as well as cultural
excursions. The program is open to international students between the
ages of 15-25 and includes housing; most meals, ESL classes, cultural excursions, and
even airport pick up and drop off services. We offer TOEFL® testing on site if desired.
The ALCI exceptional programs also
include the Cultural and Professional
Development Experience, which is a 10-week summer program held at GSU. The program provides participants with an
American cultural experience that includes evening and weekend excursions to
museums, restaurants and historical sites in the Chicago area.
Furthermore, while participating in the
program, you will have the opportunity to meet and coordinate with members of
the GSU faculty to discuss pedagogy and research practices. Participants will also receive instruction in
speaking and listening, reading and writing and multimodal literacy. For those who have an interest, TOEFL® test
preparation and onsite TOEFL testing is available. The program includes housing, two meals a
day, local transportation, textbooks, all course instruction, evening and
weekend trips and insurance. In addition participants will sign up
for a free online orientation course that is provided three weeks prior to the
beginning of the summer program.
