ESL／ELA Program

It is the vision of the English Learning Academy (ELA) that all students completing the program will be linguistically, culturally and academically prepared to succeed in university courses taught in English. To achieve this vision, the program seeks to develop students’ linguistic competency, cultural awareness and critical thinking skills to enable them to experience academic success and to have positive intercultural experiences when enrolled in university-level courses.

The English Learning Academy is accredited by the Commission on English Language Program Accreditation for the period December 2017 through December 2027 and agrees to uphold the CEA Standards for English Language Programs and Institutions. CEA is recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education as a nationally recognized accrediting agency for English language programs and institutions in the U.S. For further information about this accreditation, please contact CEA, 1001 North Fairfax Street, Suite 630, Alexandria, VA 22314, (703) 665-3400, www.cea-accredit.org.
