　　 英語作為第二語言課程，

　　 英語作為第二語言（ESL）課程提供非英語為母語的學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)英語的機(jī)會(huì)，很多時(shí)候，運(yùn)用自己的語言研究其他學(xué)科如數(shù)學(xué)，科學(xué)和歷史。ESL課程雖然許多密集的英語課程專注于語言的發(fā)展，很多時(shí)候采取更全面的方法，并為學(xué)生提供機(jī)會(huì)學(xué)習(xí)英語，并把它應(yīng)用到學(xué)術(shù)，社會(huì)和文化的情況下。ESL課程很多時(shí)候小，將特別強(qiáng)調(diào)讓學(xué)生感覺很舒服，因?yàn)樗麄優(yōu)g覽到他們的生活和學(xué)習(xí)和應(yīng)用英語 ESL課程通過提供眾多公共和私營機(jī)構(gòu)在美國語言學(xué)院等，學(xué)院和大學(xué)。他們提供了各種級(jí)別的指令（從初級(jí)到高級(jí)）課程旨在幫助非母語英語語言的各種（有時(shí)甚至是混亂的）結(jié)構(gòu)，細(xì)微之處，和應(yīng)用的理解和實(shí)踐。更具體地說，ESL課程給學(xué)生的指令： 　　 英語詞匯 　　 英語語法 　　 英語發(fā)音 　　 書面英語和口語之間的差異 　　 英語俚語 　　 它是口語的英語語言和社會(huì)文化和社會(huì)基礎(chǔ) 　　 ESL課程，學(xué)生通常會(huì)選擇從事更專注，學(xué)習(xí)： 　　 通用英語； 　　 學(xué)術(shù)英語； 　　 行政英語（國際業(yè)務(wù)或管理工作感興趣的學(xué)生） 　　 科技英語（興趣與講英語的高科技企業(yè)工作的學(xué)生）； 　　 測試準(zhǔn)備（準(zhǔn)備采取的畢業(yè)記錄考試GRE或其他大學(xué)入學(xué)考試的學(xué)生） 　　 任何學(xué)生誰希望更好地了解和使用更輕便的英語ESL課程可以是有用的。他們可以是特別有利于學(xué)生誰需要一個(gè)較慢的，更廣闊的英語介紹和它的各種應(yīng)用。 ESL課程可以是短期的，但往往是長期，持久的任何地方從幾個(gè)月到幾年。密集英語課程程序 強(qiáng)化英語計(jì)劃（IEP），允許學(xué)生從事一個(gè)嚴(yán)格的，故意的，很多時(shí)候，短期學(xué)習(xí)英語。課程從基礎(chǔ)到先進(jìn)，經(jīng)常專注于特定的曲目，如旅游，學(xué)術(shù)，社會(huì)，技術(shù)，或另有專門的英語。ESL課程相似，IEP計(jì)劃主要側(cè)重于英語詞匯，語法，發(fā)音和用法提供指導(dǎo)，但不像ESL課程，側(cè)重于其中的社會(huì)的社會(huì)和文化根基的英語口語的地方。 IEP計(jì)劃通常短期持久的任何地方，從三至十二個(gè)星期（或更長的時(shí)間取決于程序）。IEP的學(xué)生往往開始于一個(gè)基本的水平，提前通過多種課程，或到一個(gè)更高的水平，開始測試。IEP的偉大的學(xué)生誰需要學(xué)習(xí)英語語言相對(duì)較快，并有信心通過深入研究，他們可以這樣做。IEP計(jì)劃通過私人和公共機(jī)構(gòu)，如語言院所，大專院?；虼髮W(xué)提供 IEP的通常要求學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)英語的幾個(gè)小時(shí)/天，五至六天/周。因?yàn)檫@些課程是“集約型”轉(zhuǎn)變，他們?cè)O(shè)計(jì)的快速移動(dòng)，可以是相當(dāng)激烈的。是否知道你拿起語言很快，可以幫助你決定是否IEP的是適合你的。無論您選擇參加IEP或ESL課程可能還依賴于大量的時(shí)間，你必須付出你的研究（上每天和每周，取決于你有多少時(shí)間花費(fèi)在美國語言課程）。 　　 英文原文： 　　 English as a Second Language Programs 　　 English as a Second Language （ESL） programs provide non-English-speaking students an opportunity to learn the English language and, often times, apply their language studies to other academic subjects such as mathematics, science, and history. While many intensive English programs focus on language development, ESL programs often times take a more holistic approach and provide students with opportunities to learn English and apply it to academic, social, and cultural situations. ESL classes are often times small, and place a particular emphasis on making students feel comfortable as they navigate and apply the English language to their lives and studies. 　　 ESL programs are offered through numerous public and private organizations in the United States such as language institutes, colleges, and universities. They offer various levels of instruction （from beginning to advanced） and curriculum designed to help non-native speakers understand and practice the English language’s various （and sometimes confusing） structures, nuances, and applications. More specifically, ESL programs give students instruction in: 　　 English vocabulary 　　 English grammar 　　 English pronunciation 　　 Differences between written and spoken English 　　 English slang 　　 Cultural and social underpinnings of the English language and society in which it is spoken 　　 In ESL programs, students typically have the option to engage in a more specialized focus, and to learn: 　　 General English; 　　 Academic English; 　　 Executive English （for students interested in working in International business or management） 　　 Technical English （for students interested in working with English-speaking tech firms）; or 　　 Test preparation （for students preparing to take the Graduation Record Exam [GRE] or other college-entrance exams） 　　 ESL programs can be usul to any students who wish to better understand and be more facile with the use of the English language. They can be especially benicial to students who need a slower, more expansive introduction to the English language and its various applications. 　　 ESL programs can be short-term but are often times long-term, lasting anywhere from several months to several years. 　　 Intensive English Programs 　　 Intensive English Programs （IEPs） allow students to engage in a rigorous, intentional, and often times short-term study of the English language. Curriculums vary from basic to advanced and often times focus on a particular track such as travel, academic, social, technical, or otherwise specialized English. Similar to ESL programs, IEPs focus primarily on providing instruction in English vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and usage, but, unlike ESL programs, place less of an emphasis on the social and cultural underpinnings of the society in which the English is spoken. 　　 IEPs are typically shorter-term lasting anywhere from three to twelve weeks （or longer depending on the program）. Students in IEPs often times start at a basic level and advance through multiple curriculums, or test into a higher level to begin. IEPs are great for students who need to learn the English language relatively quickly and feel confident they can do so through intensive study. IEPs are offered through private and public organizations such as language institutes, colleges, or universities. 　　 IEPs typically require students to study the English language for several hours/day, five to six days/week. Because these courses are “intensive”， they’re designed to move quickly and can be quite intense. Knowing whether or not you pick up languages quickly can help you decide whether or not IEPs are right for you. Whether or not you choose to attend an IEP or ESL program might also depend on the amount of time you have to devote to your studies （both on a daily and weekly basis, and depending on how much time you have to spend in the United States for a language program）.立即咨詢
