English Language Institute

English Language Institute

The purpose of an English Language Institute, or ELI, is to teach English as a second language to students from around the world. These institutes are often included in the college of education at American universities. Quality and methods vary a lot from one institute to the other, although some accreditation such as CEA (http://www.cea-accredit.org/), i.e. the Commission on English Language Program Accreditation, guaranties a level of quality by imposing strict rules on what an English Language Program should do.
