Foreign Students Are Equipped Through English Center at KU
The door to higher education in the United States is being opened to students from many lands through a new KU program.
And though it's less than a year old, the University's Intensive English Center already has equipped 65 foreign students with the language skills they need to study at colleges and universities throughout the U.S. Another 46 are taking the full-time program this summer.
"TM PLEASED with the success we've had during our first year," says Dr. Edward T. Erazmus, the center's director. He has reason to be, for in addition to a higher-than-expected enrollment, the center, in its first year, has:
(1) Become self-supporting.
(1) Come here for the University's remedial English program for foreign students.
(3) Made plans to offer a master's degree program for American students wanting to specialize in teaching English to foreign students.
The KU program is one of only two full-time English centers in the Midwest and one of only about 10 in the U.S. Initially established through funds from the University's Ford Foundation grant for international programs, the project was almost self-supporting in its initial year. Fees totaling $350 for the 15-week fall and spring semesters and $250 for the 10-week summer term have paid nearly all of the center's first-year instructional and operational costs.
"OUR ENROLLMENT should double next year, so we'll be self-supporting from here on out," Erazmus says.
Next year, foreign students entering the University for the first time who need remedial work in English also will study at the center. Last fall, about 90 of the 600 foreign students were recommended for the part-time remedial English program.
Though plans haven't been completed, Dr. Erazmus says the center soon may offer a master's degree to
The remedial program and the master's degree are not the heart of the center, which has as its primary task the full-time teaching of oral, writing, and reading skills to foreign students with little or no English background. So far, Erazmus, who directed a similar program at Michigan State University for three years before coming to KU last fall, and a staff of eight half-time assistant instructors have conducted the program. Next year, 14 assistants will be on the job to handle the expected enrollment increase.
those interested in teaching in this area.
FOR MANY of the enrollees, the University of Kansas is just a first stop in this country. Most come to the University specifically to study English-a prerequisite to their entrance in regular courses in colleges and universities across the nation. Others stay at the University for later study in many fields.
The program, as its name implies, is an intensive one. Students spend four to six hours a day in classes in grammar, pronunciation, reading, composition, drill and laboratory.
Outside assignments are stiff. In reading, for example, the goal is for each student to read one book a week on his own—in addition to his regular classwork. And in composition, each student writes four themes a week—three 20-minute impromptu essays in class and a longer homework assignment. That's 60 themes over a 15-week semester.
"FIFTEEN IS the absolute maximum," Dr. Erazmus says, "and classes fo 10 to 13 are ideal because we can utilize individual instruction and recitation, both important in the students' language training."
When students arrive, they're tested for ability, then grouped by proficiency in classes of about 12.
The students' biggest problem? "Sophisticating their vocabulary," Erazmus says.
