Taking an ELI class
OSU faculty, staff, and students who wish to improve their English language skills can enroll in ELI classes. Classes that may be of interest include University Spoken Communication, Pronunciation Workshop, University Listening and Notetaking, Advanced Grammar, and University Reading and Writing. To see a complete list of ELI classes, follow the curriculum link on the left of this page.

The ELI is a self-supporting unit at OSU, so ELI classes do not qualify for employee tuition benefits. However, the ELI offers a special discount to OSU faculty and staff. Contact the ELI for more information. OSU students can get information about how to register for ELI classes without paying additional tuition by contacting Marybeth Trevino in the Office of Interntional Student and Faculty Services, 737-6477.

Self-Study
OSU faculty, staff, and students may also use the ELI Learning Center, which houses a wide variety of self-study material for English language learning. One feature of the Learning Center, the Communication Station, is especially useful for those who wish to work independently to improve their speaking and pronunciation abilities. The ELI Learning Center is located in Education Hall Room 406. There is no charge for OSU students to use the Learning Center; those who do not pay the Technology Resource Fee are charged $30/term for use of the Learning Center.

Becoming a Conversant
Many OSU faculty, staff, and students also take advantage of volunteer opportunities in the ELI Conversant Program. Conversants normally meet one hour per week with an international student to provide English practice and to exchange information about cultures and customs. For more information contact Candy Pierson-Charlton.
