English proficiency is key for students to have successful careers and make valuable contributions to the development of their nations. At Stamford International University, we understand the pivotal role English plays in today’s world. That is why our International and Bilingual Programs are built to help our students achieve high levels of English language proficiency in the course of their studies.

The L.E.P. draws on resources and experience made available to us by our world-class partners in language teaching, assessment and quality assurance – Cambridge University Press, Cambridge English Language Assessment, and Bell Educational Services....

They read and engage in discussions about literary works, participate in literary criticism, write in a variety of analytical argumentative and creative genres, and are challenged to view language through artistic, social and scientific lenses....

What does it mean to know a language? In what ways do people acquire their first language? How do they acquire additional languages? How is language unique to the human species and the evolution of human cognition and culture? How is language a kind of window into the mind? How might language influence identity?... [-]
