For years the AGU Department of English has provided many classes with instruction in English. These English language course offerings include Integrated English classes (IE), and also English language classes in the 4 basic skills as well as in Intensive Education. We also offer upper-division classes taught in English in six specialized subject areas. In 2017, we added more English language classes in specialized subjects in order to broaden the number interdisciplinary areas that students may choose from.

We have now officially begun the PESE initiative in order to answer the need for students who wish to complete a full program exclusively with English language instruction. Along with providing students with specialized courses taught in English, the PESE promotes study abroad in order to encourage our students to gain broader experience. Such experience prepares our students for their professional careers and to become capable players on the international stage.

The specific areas of specialization that we have added to our 1st and 2nd year English language classes are introductory classes in American literature,  Cross-cultural Communication, and English Linguistics. We also offer 1st and 2nd year electives such as speech communication in English.

In 3rd and 4th year classes, along with English language classes in specialized subjects, we also offer classes in such elective subjects as British Thoughts and Cultures, Bible in English, and Business English, all taught in English. Students may also choose to work with one of the native speakers of English on our faculty to complete a 4th-year graduation thesis.
