       Can anyone clarify exactly what the term English Language Institute 
refers to in the U.S?  Does it always mean an English language program set up 
by a college or university that is separate from the other offerings of the 
college or university?  Do ELIs offer only academic prep courses?   Are the 
English courses offered considered credit or non-credit courses?  Are grades 
given in ELI's?  If so, are those grades included in degree-seeking students' 
GPAs?
       Any explanation of this issue would be appreciated.
