Since 1979, the IELI at Creighton University has been helping students from different language backgrounds enhance their English skills. Core courses in grammar, writing, reading, and speaking/listening focus on academic language skills.
IELI classes meet Monday through Friday, between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.; additionally, there are regularly-scheduled co-curricular activities outside of the classroom. The IELI has a full semester (17-week) session in the fall and spring with 2 levels: high intermediate, and advanced, and offers special camps and programs in the summer.
