Hello and Welcome to NYIT English Language Learner research guide! This guide aims to provide resources to non-native English speakers and English learners to improve their language skills.
NYIT has 12,000 students that come from over 100 countries. The NYIT student body is as diverse as the programs it offers, so the library acquires resources that not only support our curricula but also supports obstacles facing our students and faculty. With our newly expanded Language & ESL collection students can find the assistance they need for success in grammar, writing, public speaking and a variety of related areas.
