The University of Texas at Austin's ESL Services has been offering high quality English training services since 1965. There are two unique programs, the English Language Programs (ELP) and Academic English Program (AEP). ELP is appropriate for students who are preparing for undergraduate study in the US, as well as for anyone who wants to improve their English for personal or professional reasons. AEP is designed for individuals seeking admission to a master’s or Ph.D. program in the US, or those who already have a bachelor’s degree. All of ESL Services' current instructors have graduate degrees or their equivalent, speak at least one foreign language and have taught, traveled, or lived outside the US. Every instructor has experience working in International Education, with many boasting more than 20 years of experience. Outside of class students learn about US and Texan culture, making friends through our weekly social events, English practice time, and multi-lingual conversation groups, while exploring the beautiful city of Austin. http://world.utexas.edu/esl
