About the ELLI

We invite you to join the English Language Learners’ Institute, where students join small classes led by friendly and professional teachers. We specialize in giving students the confidence to use English in real-life situations, developing their strengths in all four skills.

The ELLI is part of the Center for International Studies at Angelo State University. Our aim is to deliver high quality English Language programs to international students. A priority is to prepare students for academic study at Angelo State and other US universities, but we also welcome students who need English for social and professional purposes.
