Academic English Success
English Language Learners prepare to excel in American higher education systems. Students learn how to write linearly, develop their academic voice, gain command of academic vocabulary and grammar, implement educational integrity, practice using professional sources and databases, follow lectures for effective note-taking, and understand intercultural communication patterns.
