语言和文化强化课程（15周）

ILC满足UAH非英语母语人士的需求。它使010-040级（高级初学者–高中级）的学生可以为在英语大学中学习做好准备，而050级（高级）的学生则可以在UAH的第一学期提高他们的英语技能。该计划每周包括20个小时的课堂教学，以帮助学生提高口语和书面学术英语的技能。该方法遵循交际语言教学的原则，重点是听力，口语，阅读和写作的四个组成部分技能。语用，语法和发音方面的其他工作可支持准确性和流利性方面的进步，并特别注意美国大学环境中的交互作用。
With a rigorous curriculum and strict attendance requirements, the program is designed to provide all the information a student will need to progress rapidly in his/her acquisition of English for use in an academic setting. The ILC serves the needs of non-native speakers of English at UAH. It enables students at the 010-040 level (high beginner – high intermediate) to prepare for study at English-language universities and students at the 050 level (advanced) to polish their English-language skills during their first semester at UAH. The program comprises 20 hours of classroom instruction per week to help students develop their skills in both oral and written academic English. The approach follows principles of communicative language teaching, with a focus on the four component skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Additional work in pragmatics, grammar, and pronunciation supports progress in both accuracy and fluency, with special attention paid to interaction in a U.S. university context.
