杨百翰大学的英语中心（ELC）在语言学系和继续教育部的指导下。该计划旨在为教师提供一所实验学校，让教师学习向其他语言的人讲英语，并为渴望提高英语水平的学生提供高质量的英语教学。学生可以期望ELC的大多数老师是在TESOL硕士学位课程中学习的研究生，或者已经获得该课程的研究生证书或硕士学位。
The English Language Center (ELC) at Brigham Young University is under the direction of the Department of Linguistics and the Division of Continuing Education. The program is designed to provide a laboratory school for teachers learning to teach English to speakers of other languages and to provide high quality English language instruction for students desiring to learn English and improve their English language skills. Students can expect most of the teachers at the ELC to be graduate students studying in the TESOL master's degree program or to have graduated from that program with a graduate certificate or master's degree.<br><br>Although ELC students are not BYU students, they nevertheless have access to many BYU facilities including the university library as well as to the ELC computer lab and resource center.<br><br>The English Language Center strongly promotes an English-only environment. At the ELC, language instruction and testing take place Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Students are expected to complete 2 to 3 hours of homework assignments daily. They also participate in social activities sponsored by the ELC. Above all, the intensive nature of the program supports language development, students attend 20 hours a week of in-class instruction plus lab work.
