Program Overview

Our Summer Intensive Academic English program is for those of you looking to ramp-up your English academic language skills and receive a B-2 certification while enjoying being in Israel over the summer.

Your English should already be at a high intermediate to advanced level to get the maximum out of this program, which includes a 4-credit course focusing on reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills in academic contexts (details below). 

You will be challenged with a variety of advanced English-language topics, including building academic vocabulary, reading more efficiently, writing academic papers, listening to lectures and note-taking, participating in seminar discussions, and delivering oral presentations. You’ll also be taught crucial library and research skills. 

Perhaps most importantly, you’ll enjoy small and intimate classes taught by qualified and experienced teachers specializing in teaching English for academic purposes.
 

The 4-credit course includes two sections:

• Academic English - Reading and Writing (2 academic hours)
   

• Academic English - Listening and Speaking (2 academic hours)

. 

Note that typically you can also take the Intensive Summer Hebrew Ulpan in conjunction with these courses, as the Hebrew Ulpan courses meet during mornings and Advanced English courses usually occur in the afternoons (check here for more updated details).
