US Intensive English Saw 63% Bounce in 2022
Date postedJune 7, 2023
New data from IIE Open Doors has suggested that the US’s English language inbound program has finally begun to bounce back from a crippling pandemic.
In its latest survey of Intensive English Programs, the data suggests that in-person study is very much back in fashion, with the “vast majority of students” coming in-person in 2022.
Some 64,106 students were studying at 348 intensive English programs in the US during 2022, which Open Doors says reflects a 63% increase year-on-year.
Cheryl Delk-Le-Good, executive director at the country’s language school association EnglishUSA, told The PIE News at NAFSA 2023 that the rebound was a definite cause for “celebration”.
