J-1 visa rules now make it possible to bring visiting researchers or professors to Wright State University for as long as 5 years. Prior to this time, this category of Exchange Visitor was limited to a maximum stay of 3 years. These changes in immigration/visa regulations were accompanied with some other changes which make it critical to keep WSU visiting researchers/professors well informed and careful about making their long term plans.
Wright State University offers college-level ESL classes in speaking and writing to Wright State students and people in the community. In addition, ESL proudly partners with LEAP, our Intensive English program for students who wish to improve their English before starting a degree program.
The LEAP curriculum focuses on developing all of the language skills needed to prepare students for college or employment in the U.S. The program consists of four levels. Students can start their training at the elementary level and progress to an advanced, college ready level. Students may be able to begin the LEAP program at a higher level based on their placement evaluation results.
LEAP does not have a zero-beginner level. The lowest LEAP level is for students who have a basic knowledge of English.
• Elementary level: Fundamental English for basic communication and preparation for academic reading, writing, and grammar.
• Low Intermediate: Introduction to academic reading and writing with grammar support, as well as an emphasis on speaking and listening skills.
• High Intermediate: Continued work with academic reading and writing , grammar and speaking and listening.
• Advanced Bridge Level: Advanced preparation in reading, writing, speaking and listening for university or business purposes. Students at this level are entitled to take university classes for college credit. Successful completion of the Bridge level stands in place of a TOEFL score for admission to Wright State University.
Students are highly encouraged to get invovled with the student organization known as the "International Cultural Exchange" (ICE). ICE sponsors events to allow international students to experience American culture, culture of other nations and have fun in an informal setting. ICE will host events during the academic term ranging from a visit to a Haunted House to ice skating in cities nearby. It is free to join this student organization.
