Language School

Look for Value:

• Number of weeks
• Number of hours per week
• Calculate the cost per hour

Example :

Learning Environment:

• Average class size
• Get an idea of who the teachers are - look for pictures of the teachers and the staff. Do they seem friendly, inviting?
• Classrooms - what do they look like?

Program of Study:

• Which elements of English does the program emphasize? (listening, speaking, reading, writing)
• Teaching method (lectures, activities,...)
• Typical day

School Environment:

• Is the language school isolated or is it part of a larger school?
• Look for pictures of the campus, facilities
• Do you want to meet college students in other programs?
• What facilities does the school offer (computer labs, sports complex,...)?
• Could you follow another program later at the same school?
• Location of the school within the city - look for a map of the school/city.
• Is the school easily accessible by public transportation?
