2 IELI Curriculum Organised IELI starts at a beginner level and helps students build their English ability step by step. Each level teaches new language skills and gives students a lot of practice and feedback to help them use new structures and expressions. Focussed Students are placed separately by skill area (reading and writing, listening and speaking). For example, if your speaking is better than your writing, you will be placed in a higher level speaking class and a lower level writing class. You can challenge yourself to improve in your strong areas and get some extra help to improve in your weak areas. Balanced The IELI curriculum will help you become more fluent in English as well as focussing on pronunciation, accuracy, and organisational structure. This balance between many aspects of English helps students reach the highest possible standard of English for their success in the future. Challenging The IELI curriculum is not easy. Students are expected to work hard, to ask questions, and to use every opportunity to use and improve their language skills. Teachers and students work together to help every student reach his or her goals as quickly as possible. If you want to study English intensively, I will recommend IELI. They ll give you a lot of homework, but it will be good for you. I reckon the IELI teaching program is systematic and well organised. I like the divided classes, so I can take a suitable class in communication, reading and writing and listening. 2 All quotes are from student exit surveys.

3 The teachers encouraged me to keep studying. When I struggled with studying or living in Australia, they were helpful and warm. IELI Classes Teachers IELI teachers are friendly, experienced and interesting people. Many teachers have studied or worked overseas, so they understand the feelings of the students and can help them adjust to life and study in Adelaide. IELI staff work hard to provide the best quality education and experience for our students. IELI is committed to promoting responsible global citizenship. IELI classes encourage students to learn about the world and to use their English skills to express ideas on important issues affecting their future. Students IELI has students from many different countries. (Check our website for a current list of nationalities.) Our students are our greatest strength. We encourage all students to interact with each other and to learn about all of the fascinating cultures which make up the IELI community.
