Advanced ESL (Level III) students are asked to write a final paper discussing their cultural experiences in America.

The curriculum emphasizes all four-language skills: listening, speaking, writing, and reading. Students, then, learn how to communicate in English, which in turn will help them to understand the many facets of American culture. Additionally, this program provides students the requisite language skills that will allow them to function in all kinds of situations, advanced academic pursuits, cultural exploration and proficiency within the business world.
