Language institutes
A language school is a school
where one studies a foreign language.
Classes at a language
school are usually geared towards, but not limited to, communicative
competence in a foreign language. Language learning in such schools
typically supplements formal education or
existing knowledge of a foreign language. Students
vary widely by age, educational background, work experience. Further, at
language school students usually have the possibility of selecting a specific
course according to their language proficiency
Structure
As a
general rule, new students take a placement test
which enables teachers to determine which is the most appropriate level for the
student. Courses can be organized in groups or for individuals (one-to-one
lessons). Private language schools are generally open year-round and are
equipped with pedagogical material (books, tape recorders, videos, language
laboratories, a library, etc.).
Organization
Most language schools are private and for-profit. Fees vary depending on a multitude of
factors, including local cost of living, exchange rates, and demand for the
language in the area where a school is located. Language schools are either
independent entities or corporate franchises.
Teachers
Teachers are expected to possess native
speaker fluency or acquired competence in their target
languages; formal qualifications to become a language teacher, however, vary by
school, region or country. This ensures the quality of the language school and
provides students with a richer experience. Teachers may have graduated with a B.A, Master's
degree or a Ph.D. Pedagogy, experience and strong teaching
skills are the principal criteria during the recruitment of the language
school's teachers.
Accommodation
Many language schools offer
various kinds of accommodation to
their students: host family (home stays), campus residences, shared housing, or even hotels. Host families may live close to the
selected school and students can go there walking or by public transport. The
campuses and shared apartments, generally available for students aged over 18,
offer various facilities such as an Internet access, TV sets etc.
