 Integrated Classes
ECI teaches the four basic skills of language learning (listening, speaking, reading, writing) in all of its core classes. The four skills are not separated into different classes, but are learned in an integrated classroom. ECI adapts this method because the academic life is integrated with all four skills at a university level. ECI wants you to have real-life experience in preparing you for higher education.
