Study ESL at the Computer Systems Institute

The ESL Academy is a division of Computer Systems Institute (CSI). Immersion while formally studying a language allows students to immediately use new language skills and vocabulary words in the real world, which helps to create a more effective learning environment. Students at CSI learn native usage of the English language and become comfortable speaking naturally and spontaneously and can study at either the CSI Illinois campus or the CSI Massachusetts campus.

The ESL Academy

CSI launched the ESL Academy in 2005. Recognizing the demand from a growing number of international students studying in the US, CSI sought to provide affordable and effective English as a Second Language programs. Since that time, hundreds of international students from more than 40 countries have taken courses at the ESL Academy.

ESL Programs

The ESL Academy offers several English language programs. Each program is designed to aid students in a specific area of the English language, depending on their skill level, personal goals, and needs.

• Intensive English Program (IEP) – available in beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels

The Intensive English Program (IEP) offers focused classroom and computer-based English as a Second Language training. It is divided into three subject areas: vocabulary and conversation, writing and grammar, and reading strategies. These classes will allow international students to talk freely with native English-speakers about a variety of subjects, and students will be able to read and write at an advanced level by the end of the program.

• Academic English Programs (AEP) – three advanced Academic English programs available in writing, communication, and literature

The ESL Academy’s Academic English Programs (AEP) include rigorous classes in reading for academic purposes, critical writing skills, and speaking and listening skills especially suited for participation in American college classrooms. These are advanced programs that build on a student’s existing language skills in reading, writing, and verbal communication.

• Business English – three year-long programs: Customer Service Specialist Program, Hospitality Industry Professional Program, and Administrative Assistant Professional Program

Programs in Business English offer students the means to gain the professional language and training they will need in the business world. These programs allow students to work legally on an F1 student visa while learning professional skills. Students who enrolled in this program should already be comfortable speaking English.
