CEP Cources | Intensive English Language Program (IELP) |

The Cultural Education Program consists of a variety of practical language courses that give students active involvement in their study of English. The Cultural Education Program provides language learners many opportunities to interact with teachers, classmates, people in the city, and helps the students to develop all their language skills while they are participating in interesting, enjoyable, and useful activities.

Some Cultural Education Program courses being offered by the IELP are:

American Icons Learn about Americans who have had a great influence on American culture - people who have made us happier or safer or even healthier. You'll find out about the lives of famous musicians and actors, the books of well known American writers, the thoughts and acts of important politicians and stories about others who made a difference in the lives of Americans. We will watch video clips, listen to music and read short stories and newspaper articles. Come and learn new expressions and increase your vocabulary while you learn about American icons!
Conversation Class You will learn about how Americans speak with each other as well as the common expressions, idioms, and slang that they use in conversations. In addition, you will talk about current and interesting topics and practice using common American expressions. There are three levels of conversation classes: elementary, intermediate, and advanced, so everyone has a chance to participate!
Games Learning English through games is a fun and enjoyable way to learn language. By playing games you will have the opportunity to increase your listening and speaking skills and learn new vocabulary and expressions. In addition, you can learn more about American culture. Do you know how to play Scrabble? Join us and learn!
Learning English Through Volunteering You can really Learn English Through Volunteering! Our class meets every week at a different place in Philadelphia and we work to help needy people in Philadelphia. You, too, can do something good and build your vocabulary and everyday English at the same time.
Watching and Discussing Movies Watching movies is a very popular pastime. Why not join us and use this favorite activity as a way to increase your understanding and use of English. We will watch three movies and some TV programs and then discuss them together as we learn more about vocabulary, idioms, slang, American culture and history.
