IELI CURRICULUM Organised
Balanced
IELI starts at a beginner level and helps students build their English ability step by step. Each level teaches new language skills and gives students plenty of practice and feedback to help them use new structures and expressions.
The IELI curriculum will help you become more fluent in English as well as focussing on pronunciation, accuracy, and organisational structure. This balance between many aspects of English will help you reach the highest possible standard of English for your success in the future.
Focussed At IELI you will be placed separately by skill area (reading and writing, listening, and speaking). For example, if your speaking is better than your writing, you will be placed in a higher level speaking class and a lower level writing class. You can challenge yourself to improve in your strong areas and get some extra help to improve in your weak areas.
Challenging The IELI curriculum is not easy. You will be expected to work hard, to ask questions, and to take every opportunity to use and improve your language skills. You will work together with the teacher and other students to help all students reach their goals as quickly as possible.
I reckon the IELI teaching program is systematic and well organised. I like the divided classes, so I can take a suitable class in communication, reading and writing and listening.

English intensively, I will recommend IELI. They’ll give you a lot of homework, but it will be good for you.
IELI CLASSES The teachers encouraged me to keep studying. When I struggled with studying or living in Australia, they were helpful and warm.
Teachers
Students
IELI teachers are friendly, experienced and interesting people. Many teachers have studied or worked overseas, so they understand students’ feelings and can help them adjust to life and study in Adelaide. IELI staff work hard to provide the best quality education and experience for our students.
IELI has students from many different countries (check our website for the current list of nationalities). Our students are our greatest strength. We encourage all students to interact with each other and to learn about all of the fascinating cultures which make up the IELI community.
