The English Language Institute offers instruction in the English language to non-native speakers enrolled in the University. The main purpose of this instruction is to help non-native speakers to become effective and fully participating members of the academic community. For this reason, the majority of the ELI courses are primarily concerned with English for Academic Purposes. Most of these courses address specific areas such as academic writing, academic speaking, pronunciation, lecture comprehension, or academic grammar. In major areas such as speaking and writing, a sequence of courses of increasing difficulty and specialization is available. Students may contact an ELI Advisor for help in selecting appropriate EAP courses (ELIadvisor@umich.edu).
