The IEP has been on campus
continually since 1952 when it
was developed because of an obvious need in the community.
"When this program was first established, only a handful of Latins
were enrolled," said O'Toole.
A student in IEP registers and
takes a placement test to determine their level of English proficiency and then is placed in either
Basic Level, Elementary Level, Intermediate Level, or Advanced
Level English.
Each level of study takes one semester to complete, and a "C" average is required for advancement
to the next level Students who
wish to study at UM after the IEP
must finish the advanced level
Students must also pass the
TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) wilh a score of
550.
Students attend classes, held in
Allen Hall, every day for five
hours. Their studies include one
class each in reading, writing, listening and speaking, grammar and
language lab.
Individual classes are balanced
to provide a mixed language background in every class as well as a
balanced male to female ratio,
which is new to some students because the country from which
they come does not mix sexes at
sche>•>!. To give each student maximum attention, classes are made
up of no more than 15 students
The IEP has videotaping capabilities Every semester, each listening and speaking class is videotaped and s'iee-.e n t.e the students.

prior to registering for the course,
a student must show evidence of a
United States bank account with
sufficient funds to cover expenses
for the semester. "This is to ensure
a student isn't stranded here without enough money," O'Toole explained
The overall attrition rate for IEP
is less than two percent and those
who do withdraw usually do so
for non-academic problems.
"A few students are dropped for
non-attendance of classes, but not
until they have been sufficiently
warned." said O'Tooli
The reason for the low attrition
rate is that the students who participate are usually very pleased
with the program.
Salvia R Paz and Antoine Olivi
