Special programs for ESL

The Institute for International Studies, as a division of the university which provides coordination for all activities with an international emphasis, is in the unique position of being able to provide special programs for groups. Please contact Weihong Gao at wgao@murraystate.edu to begin making arrangements.

English Language Instruction for Special Groups

In addition to a full program of English language instruction available throughout the year at specific dates, the Institute offers highly flexible programs for groups at times convenient to the group. Although summer is the most often requested period, groups are not limited to this time of year. It is recommended that interested groups contact the Institute at least six months prior to the time they wish to start.

Programs may consist of standard courses in conversation, reading, writing, and grammar, or they may include an array of subjects that can include (but are not limited to):

• English for specific purposes
• English for teachers
• Technical writing
• Business English
• Pronunciation training
• English for public speakers
• Intensive conversation
• Introduction to American culture
