Customized English and Pre-Academic Programs
For more than 35 years, we have been providing the highest quality educational and training programs to universities and organizations throughout the world. Our close and active relationships with departments and colleges on the UC Davis campus have led to a number of cooperative projects that combine training in several areas. One recent example is our work with a Japanese research and graduate university and the UC Davis College of Life Sciences to provide a program of English instruction—tutorials in research paper writing and presentations—and participation in the College's graduate seminars. We also receive Fulbright scholars into our Intensive English Program every year, and we run the Humphrey Fellows Scholars Pre-academic Orientation and Training Program, one of only three universities in the United States, every summer. There are many ways in which we can work with our overseas partners to customize programs that specifically meet their needs.
Sample programs include:
- Introduction to Higher Education and Universities in the U.S.
- Communication and Culture
- Business English
- Test Preparation (TOEFL and TOEIC) and Accent Improvement
- Presentation Skills Seminars for Scholars
- English for Medical Professionals
- Pre-academic Orientation and Training Programs for Hubert Humphrey Fellowship and Fulbright Grant Scholars
- Pre-service and Train-the-Trainer Training in English Language Teaching
- English classes combined with academic study (e.g., nutrition, horticulture, engineering, business and management)
- English for Legal Professionals
