英语专业的学生将在语法，阅读和写作上花费大量时间。欢迎高中级和高级英语水平的学生参加该计划。学生的英语能力是在学生到达加州大学圣地亚哥分校英语语言学院（ELI）时的入学培训期间确定的。为期2周的学术英语课程的日期与8周英语语言课程表中各节之间的2周休息时间保持一致，这对于继续学习的学生来说是一个很好的课程。
Academic English students will spend considerable time on grammar, reading, and writing. High-intermediate and advanced English proficiency students are welcome to take this program. A student's English proficiency is determined during orientation at the time the student arrives at UC San Diego English Language Institute (ELI). The dates of the 2-week Academic English program align with 2-week breaks between sessions in the 8-week English language program schedule, making it a good program for continuing students.
