ESL for Beginner & Intermediate Levels

What is Accelerated Language instruction?

Accelerated Language instruction is a unique way to learn a language that is ideally suited to adult learners. The method employs best teaching practices and whole-brain learning theory to maximize each individual's learning style. Now you can achieve conversational fluency in a matter of weeks instead of months or even years, as with other programs.

This approach allows you to optimize your natural learning abilities. You will learn the language quickly, easily, and efficiently. Students retain more over time from our relaxed and fun learning environment that encourages communication and interaction.

Beginner ESL Levels 1 to 4

This program focuses on oral communication and written expression at a beginner level. Vocabulary expansion in areas such as: the home, school, body parts, numbers, alphabet, drinks, food, etc., are covered, along with the simple present tense, future tense, and past tense. Writing structures progress from simple sentences to compound sentences.

Each level is 30 hours long and will be covered in a one-week schedule from Monday through Friday, allowing the student to finish the beginner levels within a one- to one-and-a-half-month period.

Intermediate Levels 5 to 8

The intermediate program integrates the structures learned in the beginner levels and expands by covering perfect tenses, modals, phrasal verbs, conditionals, clauses, and other verbals. Writing structures progress from reviewing simple sentences and compound sentences to complex and complex-compound sentences. Ultimately, oral communication skills of expressing agreement/disagreement and "how to" processes are practiced regularly.

Each level is 30 hours long and will be covered in a one-week schedule from Monday through Friday, allowing the student to finish the intermediate levels within a one- to one-and-a-half-month period.
