"We have become as a great family spread across this vast world. We speak different tongues. We live under a variety of circumstances. But in the heart of each of us beats a common testimony: You and I know that God lives and is at the helm of this His holy work.
(President Gordon B. Hinckley, Oct. 5, 1996, Sat morning session of General Conference)

Welcome to the BYU-Idaho
English Transitional Center (ETC)
The English Transitional Center (ETC) is designed to help students who have English as a Second Language (ESL) adjust to their role as matriculated college students. The ETC program helps students improve and practice their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills.
Through English 101 modules, students may receive individual (peer tutor) help with pronunciation, grammar, writing, vocabulary, reading comprehension, and conversation skills. English 101 may be taken for credit or non credit.
English 108 (Orientation and Verbal Communication) and English 109 (Writing) are classroom setting courses offered through the Academic Learning Department for ESL students who have been accepted to BYU-Idaho. Students receive college credit toward graduation for each of these courses.
