Description of Context in which Data was Gathered
The ALI is an intensive English language program located on the campus of the
University of Toledo. It was established in 1977, for the purpose of improving the
English language skills of foreign nationals in order to successfully engage with the
university and greater Toledo community (http://www.utoledo.edu/cisp/ali/mission.html).
A session of classes at the ALI typically lasts about seven weeks, or half of a regular
semester of classes at the University of Toledo. Therefore, the ALI conducts two sessions
of classes within each regular semester at the University of Toledo: Session I and Session
II.
