English as a Second Language Program for Adults at ATS Institute

Intensive English-language instruction for adult non-native speakers of English at all levels of proficiency: novice/beginner, intermediate, and advanced

Welcome to the ESL (English as a Second Language) for Professionals Program at ATS Institute of Technology! We're glad you have chosen our program to assist you in your journey to proficiency in speaking English the way Americans speak it. Since the inception of our ESL program in 2000, hundreds of new Americans have embarked on – or continued - that journey here. Our instructional programs provid

e non-native speakers of English with the linguistic, academic and social skills and cultural base required to navigate successfully in American social and academic environments, and in professional/vocational settings which use English as the principle medium of communication. At ATS Insitute, we pride ourselves in training our students to be self-regulating speakers of English - a quality which will enable you to function successfully in any situation you may encounter outside of the classroom. Our highly-qualified faculty and dedicated staff are committed to assisting you in every aspect of this endeavor. Our intensive, comprehensive ESL program offers full-time courses which meet for three hundred academic hours per semester. Our courses are designed for adult learners who wish to make fast progress and who are able to devote themselves to an intensive schedule. Real progress in the acquisition of another language requires a commitment of time and effort. As such, regular attendance at class sessions is crucial for the fulfillment of students’ academic and professional goals - as well as to obtain optimal benefit from the program. This will not only aid you in making progress in the acquisition of English, but will provide you with a solid foundation that will assist you in securing employment in your given or prospective fields. ATS Institute offers both a 900-hour program (three semesters) and a 1500-hour program (five semesters). Both programs are designed for students with limited English language skills, with the primary goal of teaching communicative competence - that is, the ability to communicate in English in any professional, social and academic setting. The 1500-hour program accommodates students who wish to experience a fuller range of language instruction beyond that which is offered in the 900-hour program. Our academic programs offer a broad variety of courses which address all of the language modalities - speaking, listening comprehension, reading, and writing – as well as technology-based communication.

It is with great sadness that the English as a Second Language Program for Adults at ATS Institute just recently learned of the untimely passing of one of our former students. Gennady Lukashov -- a 2016 graduate of our ESL program -- died of cancer on October 17, 2018 (just one day before what would have been his 43rd birthday), in Odessa, Ukraine. Gennady was an active and dedicated student who loved his school and was devoted to his studies and improving his English. We ask all to remember him and his family in your prayers. May his memory be eternal! Вечная память!
