English as a second Language Programs (ESL) - A.L.I.

“The best thing at A.L.I is the teachers. They are really kind and lead you well. You can enjoy studying English.”

Ximena Navarette,

Our ESL program (English as a second language) offers students three different levels of immersion to choose from: Basic, Intensive, and Super-Intensive. A maximum of 14 students per class in our Core, Skills, and Workshop classes allow students to receive the personalized attention they need and the variety they desire.

Certficates are awarded based on attendance, participation and progress.

On the first day of class, after selecting a program all students take a placement test. An exit test with a final mark of 70% must be completed to pass to the next level.
