ENGLISH LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION

The American Language Institute (ALI) provides a comprehensive program of English language instruction and evaluation. We foster an atmosphere where proactive learning precedes rote memorization. And, we believe that long-term retention depends as much on what happens outside the classroom as in it. Our location in the heart of New York City provides incomparable access to the cultures of the world. We extend our classroom to the streets, giving you complete immersion in language and culture to help you learn how to express yourself with ease and accuracy.

ALI serves two distinct types of students:

• Students who have matriculated (or will soon matriculate) in the University’s undergraduate and graduate schools and whose primary language purposes are academic
• Students enrolled in a program of continuing education whose primary language purposes are career and professional
