Welcome to the English Language Institute

The mission of the English Language Institute (ELI) is to help students improve their academic English skills quickly, through dynamic and interactive instruction in small, personalized classes. We serve students from high beginning to advanced levels of English language proficiency.

We offer two programs:

  • An intensive English program that serves students from high-beginning to high-intermediate levels of English. After completing the Intensive English Program, students can transition into our advanced credit-bearing English for Academic Purposes coursework.
  • Credit-bearing Advanced-level English for Academic Purposes coursework that counts toward your North Central College degree or could be transferred to another institution.
