ENROLL AT NESE:
LANGUAGES
Because students in Level 9 and higher can enroll in NESE’s Intensive TOEFL® course for as little as one month or for as many as six months, they can design their English language program so that it is uniquely suited to their specific needs. In addition, as NESE’s TOEFL® course is divided into two main skill areas – listening & speaking and reading & writing – students can concentrate on the particular sections of the TOEFL® Exam that they most wish to improve. For example, a student who needs to improve his score dramatically on all parts of the TOEFL® test, might take NESE’s TOEFL® course from 11:00 am to 3:15 pm each day for six months while another student might take only Reading & Writing for TOEFL® for 1 month. Whatever a student’s goals, NESE’s intensive TOEFL® course will help him reach them as quickly as possible.
The NESE Intensive Business English course, like the Intensive TOEFL® course, offers students a great deal of flexibility, allowing them to design a program ideally suited to their needs. The course has two components: Business Communication and Business Reading & Writing, and students can take both or just one of these classes. Additionally, there are special separate Intensive Business English courses for professionals.
(1) Footnote:
Please note that After-School Courses only take place when at least five students register for the course. (However, NESE makes an exception during our January, July, and August sessions - only - and always offers Legal English, regardless of enrollment during these three sessions.) There are additional fees for After-School Courses, which are listed on the NESE application form and on NESE’s Online Application System.
Elective Courses are choices available to students in Levels 8 and 9 and higher (in both NESE's Intensive and Semi-Intensive Programs) who want to place an extra focus on Intensive TOEFL® or Business English. Students can combine elective courses with their academic courses to create a program that best suits their needs. There is no extra charge for elective courses.
After-School Courses are extra non-intensive additional choices that NESE offers students. Each class, except Legal English, meets twice a week for 90 minutes. Legal English meets four times each week for 90 minutes. There is an extra charge for after-school courses.

This course is designed to give students extra practice and more confidence in conversing in both formal and informal situations. The class increases confidence by giving students opportunities to practice the correct pronunciation of difficult vowel sounds, voiced, and unvoiced consonants, blends, and verb endings. Students also work on intonation and speed. This class is structured to meet the specific needs of the individuals in the group.
(No minimum level required.)
In this course, students are introduced to the American judicial and legislative systems.

This course teaches students how to prepare research and technical papers, theses, and dissertations to a standard expected by American universities. Students learn how to use a university library for research purposes, and these skills will help them complete their class assignment: a research paper complete with footnotes and bibliography.

Regardless of their current or future profession, students learn practical skills and techniques (and English) for conducting business either in or with organizations in the United States. In other words, Workplace Communication is an etiquette guide to the peculiarities of the workplace in the United States. Whether a student is a lawyer, scientist, businessman, artist, or philosopher (or still in university), this course provides him with the tools to understand and work effectively with and within any organization in the United States. Some of the topics this course examines are:

This course teaches students common English medical terminology as used in a variety of settings. In addition, teachers will highlight some of the ways in which medicine and public health services are conducted differently here in the US than in many other countries. Students will learn vocabulary needed when greeting patients, discussing symptoms and diagnoses with them, as well as language used in discussing prognoses. Medical English is not a medical course and therefore, students can expect their instructor to focus on medical language and common medical situations in general terms rather than in detail.
(Completion of Level 7 or initial placement in Level 8 required.)
