University campuses and exciting cities in 11 countries and 87 different
locations. ELS Language Centers provide students with a
wide variety of options ranging from intensive English programs and university
placement assistance to executive business programs and vacation learning
options using an exclusive curriculum developed by ELS including 12 levels of
intensive English. ELS educators are
recognized throughout the world for their active participation in the global learning
community. ELS ensures student success
through a personalized approach and commitment to student achievement. ELS is also the leading provider worldwide of
English programs offered on University campuses—including Northern Illinois
University!
The ELS Language Center at NIU opened in September of 2010
with a small first enrollment of about 12 eager international students. Since the opening of the ELS Language Center
at NIU, enrollment has increased to 90 international students studying English
with top instructors 5 days per week on campus.
The ELS certificate is respected by more than 650 colleges and
universities around the world as fulfilling their English proficiency
requirement for admission. Since the
Fall of 2011, almost 20 ELS students have begun their studies at Northern
Illinois University in both undergraduate and graduate programs.
Since the ELS Language Center in DeKalb opened, ELS students
have participated in a number of exciting events including the 2010 and 2011
Parade of Flags, International Education Week 2011, and the 2011 Annual
Christmas Party at Altgeld Hall bringing cultures from Saudi Arabia, Brazil,
Chile, France, Thailand, Taiwan, Japan, China, Turkey, Korea, and Gabon to the
campus.
Are you interested in getting involved? Our ELS Center in DeKalb is always seeking
both graduate and undergraduate students interested in becoming conversation
partners for our international students, helping them to get involved in
university life and practice their English skills. We are open to collaboration on activities,
events, and tutoring sessions.
