English Language School in New York:
ESL Program and Courses

Our programs integrate the four language skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing.


   

Highly Qualified Teachers

Our instructors are experts in teaching English and foreign languages. Most have master's degrees in English and/or TESL certification, and many also have degrees in education. Most have been teaching English as a second language for many years. In addition, many of our instructors are fluent in another language.

Teaching Methods

Over the last decade our school has developed a unique teaching methodology enhanced by our own text books and audio CDs.

On your first day you will be asked to complete a short test which will tell us your level of English. There are six levels from beginner through to advanced. You will then be placed in a class most suitable for your level. If you discover that the lessons are too hard (or too easy), then you can discuss this with your teacher and the Director of Studies.

If there is something you know you need help with but do not need to move classes, your teachers are always available to help you either in the lessons or by recommending further self-study reading. Your lessons are carefully planned and the weekly plan is posted in the teaching rooms for you to see what you are learning and the progress achieved. In the Self Access center, linked material gives you the opportunity to reinforce your learning through additional exercises.
