About us
The mission of the ESL Institute is to serve current and prospective international students and community members by offering a diversified and high quality English language program for those students wanting to improve their English language skills.
Instructors at the ESL Institute have taught English in the U.S. and abroad. All have
strong backgrounds in education – most with Master’s degrees and concentrations in
English, language and/or education – and extensive experience in teaching English
to non-English speakers. In addition, most instructors have also experienced the learning
of a language.
Situated 45 minutes northwest of Nashville, the University is convenient to Nashville
International Airport, the excitement of Music City USA and professional hockey and
football teams.
As one of Tennessee’s fastest-growing public universities, APSU occupies a beautifully
pastoral, 180-acre campus in Clarksville, Tennessee. Each year, students from around
the world enroll at the school to take advantage of Austin Peay’s diverse offering
of associate, bachelor’s, master’s and doctorate degree programs, in addition to its
specialized English language (ESL) program.
The University’s faculty and staff make each student a priority, which is why Austin
Peay has been nationally recognized for its student-success initiatives. Students
thrive on this campus because of its inspiring academic environment, coupled with
a focus on extra-curricular offerings.
When individuals aren’t in class, they enjoy attending sporting events in 16 different
sports and participating in social events and academic student associations. That’s
why Austin Peay isn’t simply a university; it’s a community of learners from across
the globe.
The many opportunities in and out of the classroom will give students a true American
cultural experience.
Make sure you don't miss any deadlines, holidays, and exams.
