English Language
Programs
A number of publications list language
programs located throughout the United States. Of these,
perhaps the most comprehensive is English Language and
Orientation Programs in the United States, a directory of
English language programs published by the Institute of
International Education (see below). Professional
associations, such as the Consortium of University and College
Intensive English Programs (UCIEP) and the American
Association of Intensive English Programs (AAIEP), also
publish directories of their member language programs with
descriptions and contact information for each.
A growing number of magazines have appeared in recent years
that contain advertisements for English language schools. Such
magazines also provide information and advice for students
considering enrolling in English language programs, and they
contain articles about different aspects of language study in
the United States.
