: About the ESL Program |
|
|
The American Language Institute (ALI) was established in 1945 as part of New York University's School of Continuing and Professional Studies. The main purpose of the ALI is to provide non-native English speakers with the academic abilities and language skills essential to succeed either at an American university or in a professional environment. The ALI curriculum provides their students with a comprehensive program of English language instruction, evaluation and advisement while concurrently orientating them to the United States' multi-cultural environment. Outside of the classroom, students are encouraged to participate in the many field trips and activities organized by the ALI including attending theater, ballet or concert performances and visiting various points of interest in the New York City area. The ALI 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.

Faculty Qualifications |
|
|
| ALI instructors are all faculty members at New York University and hold at least a master's degree in English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), Applied Linguistics or in a closely related field. The personal and academic qualities and years of teaching experience among ALI instructors make each uniquely qualified to offer meaningful language-learning opportunities to their students. All instructors have lived and traveled abroad, speak at least one foreign language and have extensive training and experience teaching ESL/EFL to students from around the world. ALI instructors are the authors of more than 50 recent texts in language education. |
|
|
|
| While attending the ALI, students can experience living on-campus in university dormitories. Students living on-campus will be close to classes, campus activities and other students - both American and international. Students are encouraged to arrange housing as early as possible due to the limited amount of space available. Although the university housing is safe and conveniently located, many students prefer to rent or share off-campus apartments. The ALI may introduce private off-campus apartments, however it is the students' responsibility to make their own arrangements. For more information, use the Contact Address to ask the school directly. |
