Intensive English Program
Intensive English Program
The Academy offers courses year-round in all areas of English as a Second Language (ESL). The general ESL Program is composed of four levels, from Basic to Advanced, and covers all the language skills of reading/writing, speaking/listening, vocabulary building, grammar and pronunciation. We also offer classes in learning English through American Film and American Music. Take part in monthly excursions and field trips.
The standard approach in English language training is the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT). All of our courses are designed around this model and involve opportunities to speak in every class. Classes are lively, fun, and interactive. We make sure that our classes involve authentic speech so that students learn to communicate fluently and naturally.
