Knowing the Different English Courses for Second Language Learners – Which One is Right for You?


Posted December 20, 2018 by cisledu

Whether you are already living in an English speaking country or you find you need to improve your English language skills for work
 
English courses can help you identify which ones are available and which ones meet your particular language needs.

There are so many different English courses on offer, which is why it's recommended to choose a reputable language school that are known for their ESL (English as a Second Language) training. This means their instructors have experience with ESL and are able to provide you with the best learning experience.

If your English skills are not good or you have very little knowledge of the language, then the Standard English course is probably the best choice for you. This basic program is for beginner learners and will take you through basic vocabulary and sentence structure. You will have a very basic understanding of the language and you will be able to start communicating with your neighbors.

Next is the TOEFL training program. If you intend working or studying in an English speaking country, but you come from a non-English speaking country, then you will be required to complete an English test, ensuring you are able to understand the language, communicate effectively, along with reading and writing in English. TOEFL is the Test of English as a Foreign Language and this test is used by numerous companies and universities around the world. The TOEFL training program should prepare you for the course, so you can complete the test with confidence.

In addition to this, the language school you choose for your English courses should also provide IELTS exam preparation training. IELTS is the International English Language Testing System and similar to TOEFL it is used by companies and universities around the world to test the English language skills of potential employees and students who come from non English speaking countries. Completing this course prepares you for the exam, helping you complete the exam with ease.

From here you can take an business English course. This course prepares you for working in an English speaking country. It provides you with valuable vocabulary for the workplace along with valuable insight into speaking at meetings, giving presentations and liaising with clients from around the world. You will also learn valuable cultural etiquette, which proves valuable in the workplace.

Finally you can choose a career English course. These courses are industry specific, so if you want to be a hairdresser in an English speaking country you can take the course that focuses on that industry. In addition to valuable vocabulary for your industry, you will also gain practical experience by shadowing an English speaking hairdresser, for example. This helps you gain practical knowledge and helps you improve your language skills quickly and effectively.

Any English courses you are considering should offer you certain benefits such as instructor feedback. Instructor feedback is essential to your success in learning a new language. Feedback from your instructor helps you identify where you are going wrong and make corrections to improve your overall language skills.

The English courses should also give you practical assignments, though you may want to call it homework. With this you get to work on your language skills even when you are at home. The practical assignments will be monitored by your instructor and feedback will be given as required.

The final consideration when taking a course is to ensure the school you choose only accommodates small class sizes of no more than eight students, to ensure ample instructor attention and plenty of speaking time.

With over 45 years of experience, Converse International School of Languages (CISL) is internationally recognized as a leader in effective language training.
