Book description
This book reflects the change and development of Intensive English Programs (IEPs) in the world today. Chapters give insights into the struggles, accomplishments, and successful work being done in IEPs internationally. The future of these programs depends on creative, dynamic teachers and administrators who continue to look for more effective ways to deliver the curriculum and courses that meet the needs of students and the requirements of academic stakeholders. The writers will inspire IEP teachers and administrators who face similar challenges.
