Language Studies International Students



General English group courses are carefully structured to develop effective communication skills. The courses are designed for those who want to learn a new language or further develop their present skills for personal, educational or professional reasons. You can choose either the Standard 20 Course (4 lessons per day) or the Intensive 30 Course (6 lessons per day).
 

 

LSI Standard 20 
Levels Accepted:  All Levels
Number of Lessons:  20 lessons per week (4 lessons per day) 
Start Date:  Every Monday (see calendar/schedule)
Course Length:  1-50 weeks
1 Lesson: 50 minutes (4 lessons per day)
Age:  16+
Group Size: Average 10 per class (maximum 14)
 
The Standard 20 Course is the ideal program for students interested in combining language studies with other activities. During the lessons, students will learn communication skills in a variety of everyday situations. In the afternoons students can use their new skills on their own or take advantage of our social program.
 
LSI Intensive 30
Levels Accepted:  All Levels
Number of Lessons:  30 lessons per week (6 lessons per day) 
Start Date:  Every Monday (see calendar/schedule)
Course Length:  1-50 weeks
1 Lesson: 50 minutes (6 lessons per day)
Age:  16+
Group Size: Average 10 per class (maximum 14)
 
The LSI Intensive 30 Course is of particular benefit for those who need to maximize their opportunities to practice and learn English. The emphasis is on speaking and other communicative skills. In the morning the course is the same as the Standard course. In the afternoon, students concentrate on special topics and projects, with a focus on communicative skills.

These lessons provide a comprehensive review of the culture and customs of the United States. Students who have reached the intermediate level can take the TOEFL® preparation or Modular Business course in the afternoon.

Plus Courses

In addition to the group lessons, either 5 (PLUS 5) or 10 (PLUS 10) private lessons are available (one plus lesson equals 50 minutes). 

The combination of group and private lessons is especially useful if, in addition to general language learning, you need to develop or improve particular skills. We will develop an individual teaching plan with you.  This will enable you to concentrate on your own specific needs. This course can be taken with the LSI Standard 20, LSI Intensive 30 or LSI Mini Group Course.
