The English Foundation Program at The American University of Paris, created for students whose mother tongue is not English, is a one- or two-semester curriculum designed to help students integrate into a new academic system.

 

 
  First semester, students take:
 

EN003  Intensive Writing

 

EN060  English Grammar Review

 

EnglishBridge

EnglishBridge is composed of two linked courses that may be from a variety of subject areas critical to a liberal arts education. Students begin to understand how different subject areas see a given problem in different ways while they develop the language skills they need to function in an English-speaking classroom environment.

 
 
  Second semester, students take:
 

EN001  Advanced Intensive Writing

 

Other classes to be chosen with the help of the student's advisor.

 
 
 

The first year of the English Foundation Program must be completed successfully (with an overall grade average of “C”) before students are allowed to proceed further into their academic curriculum. Students earning less than a grade of “C” must repeat the courses in which their grade was below C. If language skills are not yet adequate at the end of the semester, the student may choose to repeat elements of the program. Please note: EN courses below EN 110 receive elective credit, of which 15 credits may be applied toward the student's degree.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The English Foundation Program is tailored to students' preparation levels.

Freshman and Transfer placements into Tracks One and Two are made during the admissions process.

Freshman and Transfer placements into Tracks Three and Four are made according to a placement test taken during Orientation.

Students may also be placed at intermediate stages in these tracks.
