Two courses offered through the Department of Linguistics, created and taught by IEC faculty, allow undergraduates who speak English as an additional language to receive course credit while polishing their academic and language skills. These courses are beneficial for first-, second-, and third-year international students. Why enroll:
- Students engage with international student peers in a small, friendly, interactive, discussion-based classroom environment and work to advance their communication skills in English.
- Courses help support student success across academic fields and focus on leveraging students’ current knowledge and skills to build self-confidence.
- Developing greater English proficiency can lead to expanded opportunities for employment in the US and globally.
- CU students need upper-division elective courses outside of their major(s), and these LING course can apply toward non-major, upper-division elective credit hours.
Any international or domestic student student who speaks English as an additional language is welcome to enroll. Students can self-enroll on the Buff Portal.
