Integrated English Skills

Course Descriptions, Dates And Prices

Pace University offers special courses to help non-native English speakers improve their language skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. We understand that everyone has different schedules, so we have two locations and meeting times to choose from based on what works best for you.

Flexible Study Options

Option 1: Integrated English Skills - New York City, Saturday mornings, 18-hour course over 6 weeks (Fall and Spring Semesters)

Option 2: Intensive Integrated English Skills - Pleasantville, Tuesday and Thursday evenings, 36-hour course over 6 weeks (Fall and Spring Semesters)

Option 3: Intensive Integrated English Skills - New York City, Tuesday and Thursday evenings, 36-hour course over 6 weeks (Summer Semesters)

In these courses, you will take part in fun activities to help you communicate better in a variety of situations, like talking with friends, studying, and work. We focus on helping you become a good speaker, so you can succeed in college, get a better job, and interact with others in your community. You will also learn how to understand and analyze both spoken and written English, using words and grammar that match your current skill level.

We have two levels for these courses: 1) Beginner to Pre-Intermediate and 2) Intermediate to Upper-Intermediate. Once you sign up, you will receive an online test to find the correct class, so you get the right kind of learning for you.

I've had a good experience with the online Integrated English Skills course because it has allowed me to do it at my own time and pace and adapted to my schedule. I've acquired new English skills and new ways of expressing myself.
