English Language Development Program (ELIP)

ELIP Foundation - Introduces students to the organizational principles of paragraph structure.

Please Note: Our Basic and Foundation classes are only offered in class. We do not offer Basic and Foundation classes online. 

ELIP 1 - Familiarizes students with academic skills such as note-taking, summarizing, and structured writing.

ELIP 2 - Expands on students' syntactic and discourse patterns while further building upon student's academic writing and presentations skills.

ELIP 3 - Advances students' accurate use of English structures and enhances academic skills, including developing persuasive writing and critically extrapolating and synthesizing information.

Successful completion of ELIP 3 meets University of Windsor English proficiency requirements for both undergraduate and graduate admissions.

*Students participate in a placement test upon their arrival. A valid standardized test score (CAEL, IELTS, TOEFL, etc.) may be considered in support of a student's language profile.
