Beskrivelse af sprogkursus

The Intensive English curriculum is designed for students who want to learn the language as quickly as possible within a short period of time. There are 30 morning and afternoon lessons per week. You will learn the key fundamentals of the English language in conjunction with vital study and classroom skills that will lead to success, including:

Key Language Skills: Our English courses cover all essential language skills such as: listening, speaking, reading, writing, pronunciation, and grammar. You will learn to speak with clarity, listen carefully, and gain the writing competencies necessary to complete your academic assignments with ease and accuracy.

Skills Enhancement Classes: ELS Centers offer Skills Enhancement Classes dedicated to subjects such as American Idioms, American Film, Current Events, and American Culture – enabling you to not only learn the English language, but to become part of the conversation and acquire the academic skills to succeed in higher education. Skill Enhancement Classes encompass two hours per day. In Levels 101-103, students work on Beginning Conversation and another skill area. In Levels 104-106, students focus on academic reading, writing, listening, or speaking skills. Starting in Levels 107-112, students work on academic skills such as reading, writing, listening, speaking, presentations, and note-taking.

Applied Learning: Students practice conversation and speaking skills using practical, real-world English. They learn to write with accuracy and effectiveness, develop strategic listening skills and improve their use of grammar. In the United States, Contact America! allows you to meet with native English-speakers, practice conversing while using real-world English, and listen to guest lecturers.

Key University Success Skills: To succeed in a US college or university, you will need more than just basic English language skills. Our program focuses on teaching you critical thinking, how to deliver presentations, public speaking, note-taking, academic research, and more. There are also more than 600 universities, colleges and career schools accept completion of an advanced ELS level as meeting the English language requirement for admission.

ELS recommends that students select a duration in 4-week increments (4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, etc.). Durations under 4 weeks (2 or 3 weeks) and in non-4-week increments may be available if space permits. These durations require special request and must be approved by the ELS Center Director.

"Very interesting experience thanks to which I improved my speaking skills"

Eliska Svihovcova, student fra Tjekkiske Republik

In my opinion, the school is located very well. The teachers are nice and can help with anything. The furniture was great, only the computer or projectors would need to be replaced with new ones. The activities were great.

"One of the best experiences i had live in my entire life, learning more about my self and the world around us."

Matilde Castro Sola, student fra Chile

Hi my name is matilde i studied in els center for 3 sessions, the clases were pretty good, i enjoyed every minute of class. The teachers were so nice, i love them, what i didn’t like, was having no native teacher in one session, because i needed to learn the native pronunciation and sometimes was difficult to understand. for me the location was good if you live in down town, theres a lot of museums, and stores near, What I didn't like so much was that the center was in Minneapolis and not on the St. Paul campus, because I felt that on the campus where I studied there weren't as many people circulating, or university activities, I felt that it could have been easier to make friends If the center was in St Paul, then every day I would take the shalldle bus to go to the other campus, and do activities there. What I really liked was the variety of university clubs that one could participate in, for that reason I was able to make friends, it was incredible, I learned a lot from native people, and I was able to live an American university experience, they showed me a lot of the culture was incredible. I love the St. paul campus, was so beautiful, with purple every where!
I really enjoyed some activities of els, i love to make cookies, s’mores, halloween activities and celebrated birthday every month.

"I had a very good experience along with a great learning."

Pablo Ignacio González Soto, student fra Chile

I had a really good experience. First, the welcome of ELS was very warm and friendly and for me that's a very important thing. Both the classes and the teachers were organised in a good way, which allowed me to improve and learn a lot. Also, it was very easy to get to the University, due to the shuttle buses available for students. Finally, the opportunity to use the facilities of the university made this experience better because I was able to play tennis and have fun with my friends.

"I had a very pleasant time and can only thank my two teachers for the very helpful work."

Christian Guth, student fra Tyskland

My wishes and concerns regarding the subject matter were addressed and I was able to learn what I wanted. My teachers Barb and Michell focused fully on Project Management and showed me many new applications.

The amount of material I learned and the tasks I had to complete after class were appropriate. I would especially like to thank Barb for the free time she has given me to have small talk outside the subject area.

Host family students look forward to eating dinner in the evenings with their host families, celebrating holidays and other traditions with them, and having the opportunity to practice their English with them every day. Host families assist students in finding their way to the Center on the first day, and teach them how to use the bus system, as needed. Students who choose to live with host families are able to learn more about American culture than those who live on their own.

visa

Visa support

Vi kan ikke ansøge om visa på vejne af elever. Men skolen kan give dig alt den dokumentation du skal bruge når du ansøger om dit visa.

Hvis du studerer på fuld tid i USA i mere end 18 timer om ugen, vil du modtage en I-20, som du skal indsende til den amerikanske ambassade sammen med din F-1 studentvisamansøgning. I-20'et har et SEVIS tracking nummer på sig. Studerende, der ønsker at ansøge om et studentvisa skal betale SEVIS gebyret online før de går til den amerikanske ambassade eller konsulat for deres visa interview.

Din I-20 vil blive sendt til din hjemadresse med almindelig post uden omkostninger for dig. Hvis du ønsker at modtage dine papirer som ekspresforsendelse, vil du blive opkrævet $110, når du tilmelder dig.

Bemærk venligst, at De Forenede Staters lov siger, at en I-20 kun kan udstedes til studerende, der agter at forfølge fuldtids engelskstudier. Amerikansk lovgivning tillader ikke de studerende at studere på deltid med en F-1 Student Visa. Hvis du studerer mindre end 18 timer om ugen, skal du søge om et besøgende Visa (B1/B2) på egen hånd.
