Michael Jang, president of American Industry Human Link (AIHL), signed an agreement with Auburn University at Montgomery’s English as a Second Language (ESL) Program last week, establishing a partnership through which AUM will provide communicative ESL training to Korean students interning in Alabama through AIHL’s Step of Success program.
The
Auburn Montgomery ESL program provides English language training to non-native speakers, including students who live abroad and want to improve their English language proficiency before entering an American university. Courses are designed to help students master the English language and succeed in their academic, professional and personal lives. AUM ESL is home to Alabama’s only test center for the International English Language Testing System and the only program in Montgomery awarded membership to the
American Association of Intensive English Programs.
