General Information on Beverly Hills
As with most Californian cities, Beverly Hills has its roots in ranching, farming and oil exploration. However, in 1903 Burton Green and his wife saw the area for its true potential. The couple named their newborn city after Beverly Farms, Massachusetts. They set to work planning, building and landscaping a city without compare. The first hotel, built in 1912, was the Beverly Hills Hotel, which quickly became the heart of the city, and remains so to this day. Other hotels soon followed, as did the \stars of the silver screen\". Beverly Hills is now known for their wealthy business professionals and sports stars.

| The Basic English Program is comprised of verbal (listening and speaking) and structure (practical grammar and writing) sections. In the basic levels of the verbal section, listening and speaking skills are introduced through the use of dialogues, pictures, or pantomime. Students learn basic phrases in order to deal with common situations and topics in an English-speaking environment. In the intermediate levels of the verbal section, communication beyond everyday English is emphasized as students move on to more complex language skills. Class materials focus on current events and topics to practice newly learned language functions. In the advanced levels of the verbal section, the focus is on both informal speaking and formal presentation skills related to public speaking and everyday communication in the English-speaking world. Students will be fine-tuning their oral communication skills to enhance both the accuracy and fluency of their English language abilities. | ||||||||||
