Why Study Online?
-
There is no need to interrupt your studies or put your work on hold for months. Studying a few hours each day is flexible and convenient, and you can study from anywhere with a good internet connection.
-
You will study with U.S. professors and international classmates. As you learn English, you will get to know about other cultures and practice your communication skills.
-
Online study allows you to experience what language learning is like in a U.S. classroom and explore a variety of courses and topics at a lower cost.
Online Classes (Distance Learning)
Now you can learn English from anywhere in the world by joining ILUNO classes on Zoom. You can download Zoom on your personal computer for free. Along with a computer, a webcam will be needed to take classes online.
After you take the placement test to determine your level, your instructors will send you a Zoom link to join your courses.
You will use your UNO student ID and password to log in to Canvas, the UNO course management system. This platform will give you all of your course information, including schedule, homework assignments, quizzes and tests, and contact information
Flexible Schedule
Students outside the U.S. can take as few as 1 class and as many as 3 or 4 classes depending on interest and availability. Because we want students to interact with other students and instructors to practice English, all of our classes meet synchronously, or at the same time of day.
The Listening Speaking and Reading Writing Grammar classes meet five days of the week, and the Electives meet two days during the week.
*Please Note: Some students on government scholarships may be required to take all 3 classes (21 hours). Please contact your sponsor if you are on a specific scholarship.
