Located in Iowa City, Iowa, The University of Iowa Intensive English Program (IIEP) provides intensive English instruction and a cultural, social, and academic orientation to the United States. Instruction emphasizes spoken and written English crucial to college and university work in the U.S. Grammar, writing, reading, listening, comprehension, pronunciation, and conversation skills are taught each day at all levels. Students receive 20 hours of instruction per week in addition to individual work in the language laboratory.
Because class size is small (12-15 students per class), each student receives personal coaching and encouragement. Our teachers are well-trained and hold advanced degrees in English as a Second Language. All have considerable teaching experience and most have taught outside the United States.
Field trips and cultural activities are an integral part of the Iowa Intensive English Program. This year alone, our students visited St. Louis, Missouri; the Amana Colonies; a historic village in Kalona, Iowa; a Cedar Rapids Kernels AAA baseball game; and a Halloween corn maze.
For Iowa Students and Employees already in the U.S.
Some semesters, the Iowa Intensive English Program offers a course entitled Communication Skills for Professionals. It is only available to people who are already in the U.S., as we are not able to issue immigration documents for this course. Please visit the link above to learn more about this class.
All ESL programs at The University of Iowa, including the Iowa Intensive English Program, are housed in the Department of Linguistics.
