The English Language Institute (ELI) of Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas, is a part of the Office of International Programs, whose goal is to help students from around the world achieve their academic and professional objectives. To that end, the ELI provides an effective learning program where international students can improve their English communication skills in a friendly and supportive atmosphere. We understand the variety of English learning goals our students have and we make every effort to help them achieve these goals. Our students are important to us and we care about them and their needs.
Our objectives are to:
- Provide quality instruction in English using effective teaching methods and practical, motivating materials.
- Develop our students' communication skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing)
- Strengthen their knowledge of language systems (grammar, lexis, phonology and function)
- Foster a greater understanding of culture in the United States
- Keep students motivated while maintaining a strong and steady improvement in their English skills and overall fluency.
- Provide the necessary library and technical services to support language learning.
- Help international students to become confident and proficient so that they can function independently in an English-speaking environment.
We would like to share an exciting world of discovery with you and help you to accomplish the goals you have planned for yourself. If you have any additional questions or comments, please refer to the other links of this web site. We appreciate your interest in the English Language Institute and hope that we will have the privilege of meeting you.
