Intensive English Program


Hello and welcome to the Intensive English Program at the 91社区!

Our program is student-focused, allowing students to engage in projects, presentations, debates, conversation circles, field trips, cultural immersion, and on-campus events. Students form a strong bond with their fellow classmates and interact with domestic 91社区 students as well which further helps them improve their English.

Our program gives students the opportunity to develop university-level communication skills in English and deeper understanding of the American culture. Join our 91社区 family!
