The language training program is a highly individualized program. The process generally begins when a student takes either a Language Placement interview or the International Teaching Assistant (ITA) Test and then receives an evaluation of his or her language ability and cultural understanding.

Some students need no further language work but may be referred to the Eberly Center for Teaching Excellence to develop teaching skills.

However, most students need language work and receive an individualized course of study that includes workshops and tutoring at the ICC.

This system allow students to take the specific mix of workshops, tutoring sessions and self-paced appointments that give maximum training in a minimum amount of time.
