What is the Intensive English Language Program (IELP)?

Established in 1974, the Intensive English Language Program at Temple University is designed to guide non- English speakers to functional competence in English through a series of full-time, non-credit English language courses. The program strives to meet each participant's English language needs and introduce her/him to American culture.

What Temple University IELP Students Have to Say:

Andrea "I think Temple is a good university because it's big. The Technology Center is the best!"	Hussain "In class, there are a lot of international students to share your culture with. You get English and life experience."	Mohamed "The IELP Trips are a fun way to hang out with other students and learn about Philadelphia."	Nayif "I take the subway to Temple from home. In Philadelphia, you don't have to have a car. You can get everywhere by subway, train or bus."
