EXPERIENCE ABROAD
For more than 30 years, the English Language Institute (ELI) has been a pioneer in developing specialized English language,
teacher training, and professional development programs-both overseas and on campus-to meet the needs of UB departments,
overseas partner institutions, U.S. government agencies, and other sponsors. The institute collaborates with partner
institutions overseas to deliver intensive English, English for Specific Purposes, and teachertraining programs to local
students and professionals. To strengthen local departments and support program sustainability, ELI overseas programs
promote the development of an indigenous English-teaching capability through teacher-training activities for local
instructors both on-site and at UB. On-going teacher training and mentoring is provided on-site by U.S. EFL instructors
who work with local faculty to develop curricula and course syllabi, implement standardized testing procedures, introduce
communicative instructional techniques in EFL classes, supervise lesson planning and materials preparation, evaluate
teacher performance, conduct in-service workshops on such topics as EFL theory and methodology and the
role of culture in language learning, and transfer the organizational and
administrative expertise required to run a language program.
