In coordination with the Intensive English Program curriculum, American Language Academy (ALA) provides supplemental online self-paced English courses in the areas of English for specific purposes (ESP) for Nursing, Business, Finance, Legal, Pharmacy, Hospitality Management, Sales, Marketing, and more. These courses compliment the Intensive English Program’s curriculum, textbooks, and is included as student course materials. These courses provide reading, speaking, listening, writing, vocabulary, and pronunciation practice and includes an online resource library and dictionary.
As a requirement within the Intensive English Program students must participate in experiential learning activities. Experiential learning is an important part of the curriculum at ALA and is designed to help students expand their use of English outside of the classroom as they participate in culturally relevant activities inside and outside of the classroom. Students take these extracurricular and experiential courses as part of their experiential learning activities requirement within the Intensive English Program.
