About the  Intensive English Institute

  • Founded in 1987, the Intensive English Institute (IEI) prepares international students for study at the University of Maine or at an equally prestigious American college or university. The Intensive English Institute (IEI) offers students the opportunity to study English in a university environment with access to all campus resources. The IEI is a unit within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The IEI is also effective for international professionals looking to acquire English language skills to benefit their career path. Upon request, the IEI also provides specialized language training programs for institutions, organizations, or groups, particularly in the areas of pre-academic skills, business English, U.S. culture, and teacher training. The IEI's year-round Intensive English Program also serves students who simply want to improve their English language skills in a university environment. The IEI is a proud member of UCIEP, a U.S. consortium of University and College Intensive English Programs known for its high professional standards and quality English language instruction.

    The Intensive English Institute at Orono, Maine offers a year-round Focal Skills design core intensive program as well as semester and summer courses in ESL education and shorter-term programs, workshops and tutorials.

    Benefit, Goal of this course :
    Our core intensive program develops English language skills for success in school, business, and social communication. Our English for Special Purposes (ESP) short-courses, workshops and tutorials address specific needs in a shorter-term format.

    Curriculum :
    IEI’s core program offers intensive English language instruction in four skill-focused modules designed to rapidly develop the student’s fluency and comprehensibility using English. The classes also provide cultural awareness training to prepare English language learners to function comfortably in the U.S.A. Our teachers use innovative methods and communicative activities consistent with the Natural Approach and based on a Focal Skills Program design.
     
    Our full-time core intensive program students attend skills-focused and elective classes 20 hours per week from Monday through Thursday. On Fridays, our students select from additional personal and group language learning experiences–including tutorials, conversation partners, chaperoned trips, and individual or small-group self-study.
     
    The core intensive program uses Focal Skills assessments to place students into one of the four sequenced modules: the Listening Module, Reading Module, Writing Module, or Immersion Module. Every four weeks students are tested again to see if they are ready to change their skill focus.

學校的活動很多，設施也會不定期更新，每個周末都有安排活動帶學生出遊，老師教學方式活潑也很有耐心，每堂課的內容雖然不同但都注重再加強同學的聽說讀寫部分。每學期舉辦兩次英語能力測驗的考試，便利於要進修的學生，也而外開選修課提供給學生參加。學生都來自世界各地，除了可以認識各個地方不同的文化之外，也可以訓練聽除了美式以外的口音。
我是住在學校的宿舍裡面，它算是一個小公寓裡面有4間獨立的個人房間，一個共用淋浴間，一 個共用廁所，一個共用小客廳，一個簡易小廚房，還有共用的冰箱跟微波爐，房間裡面附有書桌、 獨立抽屜、衣櫃、衣架、床，是還滿完整的，不過來之前要另外去買床單跟枕頭，這是沒有附的。走 出去自己的小套房到外面走廊中間有電磁爐跟烤箱可以自己開伙煮東西吃，這裡還有洗衣機跟烘 乾機可以洗衣服。如果在房間裡面有發現任何問題可以去一樓櫃台問，他們會很樂意幫你，如果想 打球或玩樂。可以在櫃檯借籃球、足球、地下室有撞球，或是桌遊都可以在一樓櫃台借出。 走路去學校是十五分鐘，如果不想走可以搭校園巴士。宿舍環境很乾淨很新。
