Intensive English Program: Classes

East Carolina University Language Academy (ECULA) is an academically-focused Intensive English Program. It gives students the language skills they need to succeed in today’s academic and professional environments.

ECULA offers three levels of instruction: High Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced. Students across all levels are immersed in a skills-based program with separate courses in the four main skills of reading, writing, grammar, and listening/speaking. Students also take part in the Conversation Partners Program that pairs volunteer domestic ECU students with ECULA students for general conversation practice.

Classes meet four days a week, Monday – Thursday, with Friday being reserved for student activities and field trips.

Here is what a typical schedule for an ECULA student in any level might look like:
