Improve your English at Arizona State University

At Global Launch, we believe that language learning goes beyond reading, writing, listening and speaking. In our program, you will communicate in social and academic settings, learn American cultural customs, write academic papers, and give university-level presentations. When you complete Global Launch, you will enter the American university or workforce with the tools and confidence you need to stand out and succeed in any English-language setting.

About Global Launch

Global Launch has provided high-quality intensive English language and academic preparation services for international students since 1974. Global Launch has served more than 100,000 learners across multiple platforms from every country in the world. All Global Launch educators have at least a master's degree in TESOL and have lived and taught English all over the world.

English language program: Campus Immersion or Online Immersion

The world is constantly changing, but international learners in any situation deserve an equal opportunity to receive a high-quality English language education from a world-renowned American university. At Global Launch, you can choose to learn on-campus or online and still receive the same engaging and innovative experience Global Launch is known for.

Program details

The Global Launch English language program is developed for a wide range of learners at the basic, intermediate and advanced levels. Once you are admitted to Global Launch, you will take a placement test to determine which level you will begin your English studies. There are six levels and it takes eight weeks to complete each level. Short term, 4-week study is available to campus immersion students only.

on campus or online

The world is always changing, and access to a high-quality education in America may not be possible for all learners. At Arizona State University, we believe in the power of using innovative technology to provide and enhance the learning experience for any student located anywhere in the world.

When you apply for Global Launch, you will choose to travel to the U.S. and study in the Campus Immersion or stay in your home country and participate in the Online Immersion English language program.
 

 

An alternative to the TOEFL test

Students who successfully complete the Global Launch English language program will not be required to provide a TOEFL or IELTS score for admission to ASU undergraduate and graduate degree programs. Global Launch is also accepted at other U.S. universities.

Conditional admission

ASU offers “conditional admission” to undergraduate degree applicants who have the academic abilities to be successful at ASU, but do not have the English language test scores required for admission to the university. Conditional admission allows you to improve your English in Global Launch’s in-person or online English courses instead of taking the TOEFL or IELTS exam for admission.

Surround yourself with the English language

Learning a new language is difficult, especially when you are away from your home country. When you participate in Global Launch academic success activities and volunteer opportunities, you will learn to use your new English language skills to participate in every-day conversations, help other students and make a difference in your new home here at ASU.

Concurrent Enrollment

Concurrent enrollment allows non-degree-seeking students to take Global Launch classes and ASU academic courses at the same time to learn what it takes to succeed in the U.S. educational system.
