Several people engaged in a meeting

Many of our students are professionals in various industries, and they have no intention of pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree in the USA; instead, they want to improve their English for professional purposes–the practical skills that they can use in the workplace in their home country.

The ELI is an excellent place for professionals to improve their English skills!

We have special programs for specific audiences, as well as Business English courses that cover a variety of topics, from writing reports to making formal business presentations–even defending case studies!
