20 Hours Our ESL program is year-round. Students attend immersive classes for up to 20 hours weekly, walking distance from the Tennessee Riverfront and downtown Chattanooga. Our program empowers students with the linguistic and cultural competence necessary for success in academic, professional, and social settings.

6 Levels We offer courses for students at six levels of English proficiency: starter, elementary, pre-intermediate, intermediate, upper-intermediate, and advanced. Students complete the Oxford Online Placement Test and an oral assessment to ensure their placement in the level best suited to their needs. Our instructors use researchbased teaching methods and state-of-the-art academic resources to address individual learning needs.

3 Textbooks Tuition buys a lot at UTC, but we know you’re here to learn. That’s why the ESL Institute includes textbooks in your tuition. We use titles from two leading publishing houses, Oxford University Press and Cambridge University Press. These texts grant online access to exclusive learning resources.

TOEFL At the end of each session, students take the TOEFL ITP test. This is a paper-based test which is used to measure the language progress students have made during the semester. It can also be used for undergraduate and graduate level admissions at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

Highly Qualified Instructors Our faculty possess diverse experience and respected credentials. Our instructors hold degrees from accredited undergraduate and graduate programs. They have taught English to learners of all ages in Asia, Europe, and Latin America. Our instructors utilize the communicative language teaching approach, helping students develop Englishlanguage competence through interpersonal interaction.
