Winter Term, 2001 (January 4 – April 26)Open courses in English Language Institute Wolverine Access Subject listing for ELI Winter Term '01 Time Schedule for English Language Institute. The Academic English Evaluation (AEE) Schedule and Information Sheet for Winter, Spring, and Summer Terms, 2001 Before enrolling in University of Michigan courses, most entering students whose native language is not English undergo English re-evaluation by taking the Academic English Evaluation (AEE). This test is administered by the English Language Institute (ELI) at the request of admitting units of the University. Each admitting unit decides which of its students must take the AEE and notifies them of this requirement. You should check your admissions letter and accompanying material to see if you are required to take the AEE. If you are not sure if you must take the exam, ask your admitting unit, not the ELI. The AEE is a test of academic English skills. Test results are used to place students in, or exempt them from, English language courses. A description of the test is on the back of this page. The AEE includes measures of writing, listening, grammar, vocabulary, reading, speaking, and pronunciation. The test, which takes 2_ to 3 hours, is given over 2-3 days. You take the written portions of the AEE on one day. Then, at other specially-arranged time(s), you have a brief speaking test and an individual counseling session. At the speaking test, an ELI faculty member assesses your speaking and pronunciation. At the counseling session, you get the results of all portions of your AEE and discuss with an advisor which, if any, English as a Second Language courses you will be required to take or might want to take. Take the AEE before you register for classes. The calendar below shows the dates that the AEE is offered for students entering in Winter, Spring, or Summer Term, 2001. You must register for the AEE in advance. It will soon become possible to register for AEE on the web. For the latest information, check: http://www.lsa.umich.edu/eli If you are not able to register on the web, register by phoning 734-764-2413, or send an email message to laruss@umich.edu (include your name and whether you are a graduate student or undergraduate student or a visitor) or go to the ELI Main Office, Room 3004 North University Building. When you come to take the AEE, you must bring the following pieces of information:
AEE vs. IGSI Test: The AEE is not the same as the ELI-IGSI test. The ELI-IGSI test, an oral performance test, evaluates the spoken English of prospective International Graduate Student Instructors. Prospective IGSIs take the AEE before they take the ELI-IGSI test. ELI-IGSI tests are arranged by the academic departments, not by students.

SUMMER HALF TERM 2001 Since there will be no regular ELI courses for matriculated UM students during the Summer 2001 term, no AEE tests have been scheduled. Students who have been admitted for the Summer Half Term or Fall Term should take one of the early Fall 2001 AEE tests. Students who are required to take ELI courses will be signed up for Fall 2001 term classes when they are counseled. The ELI will conduct intensive presessional English courses (the English for Academic Purposes Program, Special Business and Law Programs) during the Summer half term (July – Aug.) for students who have been admitted to US universities, and who plan to begin their academic studies in the Fall 2001 term.

ELI: What is its purpose? To evaluate the English language skills of non-native speakers of English entering UM, and to assign them to appropriate EAP (English for Academic Purposes) classes. Who must take it? Most newly admitted students, both graduates and undergraduates, whose native language is not English. Those students who are required to take the AEE as a condition of their admission have been notified in their admissions packet/letter by their admissions office. When is it given? At the beginning of each term, just before or during the registration period. What is the content? For undergraduates, 1) a 15 min. reading; 2) a 15 min. sentence completion based on the reading; 3) a 30 min. essay reacting to the reading; 4) a 35 min. multiple-choice listening test; 5) a 30 min. grammar, vocabulary, & reading test; 6) a 15 min. speaking test. For graduates, 1) a 40 min. written report, based on brief textual information; 2) a 15 min. written commentary on information presented in a graph or table; remainder same as for undergraduates (#4, 5, 6 above). Interpretation of results? After taking the written sections of AEE and having an individual speaking test, students see an ELI faculty member to receive score reports & counseling. On the basis of AEE scores, students may be required to take one or more ELI mini courses in areas such as writing, listening, pronunciation, etc. International undergraduate students who are required to take an ELI writing course must take it prior to enrolling in most of the first-year writing courses offered in the English department. However, an ELI writing course may be taken in the same term as the English course called "Practicum." In the Fall 1997 & Winter 1998 terms, nearly 641 students were tested (about 160 of them undergraduates). Approx. 34% were not required to take any ELI classes, & 37% were required to take only one ELI mini course. ELI 300.
