Program Description The School for the Advancement of English Language and Learning (SAELL) was established in 2013 as a commitment to international students and Northeastern’s goal of having an internationalized curriculum. The mission of SAELL is to holistically build international students’ English proficiency to help them achieve their academic, professional, and personal goals. In each SAELL level, teachers prepare students for undergraduate and graduate study at Northeastern Illinois University or other higher education institutions. Students complete tasks relating to their future academic study. All courses focus on improving students’ reading, writing, listening, speaking, grammar and vocabulary skills in an integrated manner. At the BASICS level, students focus on elementary and pre-intermediate use of general English. At the INDEPENDENT 1 level, students focus on English for academic purposes. At the advanced INDEPENDENT 2 and INDEPENDENT 3 levels, students focus on English for academic purposes, content-based instruction, and academic writing. Tuition costs, including fees for SAELL programs are $3600 per semester.
