A one-of-a-kind volume on innovation in the context of Intensive English Programs (IEPs). Chapter authors chronicle the past, explore important contemporary issues and consider future trajectories. This is a must-read for IEP teachers, administrators and scholars, as well as other ELT professionals in the US and elsewhere. A stellar contribution to the professional literature. * Fredricka L. Stoller, Professor Emerita, Northern Arizona University, USA * The ever-changing profile of our students' backgrounds and needs requires innovation, and Intensive English Programs (IEPs) deliver. This volume articulates the history of constant innovation that permeates the field, and many chapters close with suggestions for future innovative work. I strongly recommend this book to IEP and international education leaders alike to understand what IEPs are and how they support the international education aims of their institutions. * Mark Algren, University of Missouri, USA * With contributions from experts, this book provides a nuanced view of Intensive English Programs (IEPs) at US universities and is sure to be an immensely valuable read. It is the first attempt to go beyond discussing the administrative aspects of IEPs to delve into their innovations, which are of great interest in the fields of TESOL and applied linguistics. * Yumi Matsumoto, University of Pennsylvania, USA * ...a well-written and thorough exploration of what IEP innovation means at US universities. Although the IEPs discussed here are US-centered, this volume could be relevant for many language programs, program administrators, researchers, and applied linguists around the world. This book will be of great interest to IEP educators who are looking to innovate in their programs, but also to applied linguists and ESL/EFL teachers who are interested in reflecting on their own working environments because the issues covered can address particular needs and challenges that may arise in varied contexts. * Dong Wang, Shandong Normal University, China, TESL-EJ 29.2, August 2025 *More details
