They might have only seen images from the UB website and emails from the <a href=\"\/admissions\/\">Admissions<\/a> team.\u00a0That is why it is so important to have a support network in place.<\/p>\n<p>As a result of decades of experience caring for international students, at UB we have an action plan to help them settle in quickly:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong> Instructors<\/strong>\u00a0facilitate interactive classroom activities from the very first day in order to \u201cbreak the ice.\u201d Consequently, students become more than mere classmates quickly and tend to become \u201cflash friends.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong> ELI staff\u00a0<\/strong>immediately introduce new students to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bridgesfriends.com\/\">Bridges: Friends of Internationals<\/a>, a nonprofit group that welcomes international students in southern Connecticut. Bridges maintains a regular presence on UB\u2019s campus \u2014 with regular gatherings, fun events, and many other opportunities to connect with fellow students and the local Bridgeport community.\u00a0Although it can be hard for students to meet people when they first arrive in the US, Bridges is a place they can belong to and feel cared for while studying here.<\/li>\n<li><strong> Students<\/strong>\u00a0are also invited to actively participate in the weekly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toastmasters.org\/Find-a-Club\/988118\">Greater Bridgeport Toastmasters<\/a> chapter meetings. Toastmasters provides yet another safe environment to develop speaking and presentation skills and the opportunity to meet friendly and supportive native English speakers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The English Language Institute curriculum, carefully developed over the years with the help of undergraduate and graduate faculty, prepares students for the academic rigors of their program of study. However, we always remember first and foremost that is imperative that new students feel comfortable in their new \u201chome.\u201d Then, they can put forth their best effort and succeed at UB, and beyond.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/academics\/schools-colleges\/eli\/\">Learn more about the English Language Institute at UB.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Steven Rashba, ARM, is the Director of Modern Languages and the English Language Institute and currently teaches Advanced ELI 140 (Research Writing for ESL Students).
