Q&A - Questions about English courses and schools in USA
- One of my students has enrolled on an intensive course. Now he would like to know if there is some kind of official exam at the end of the course.
“The courses usually do not have an exam at the end. There are special exam preparation courses where via the schools
you can then register for exams. However, the schools usually issue a certificate of attendance with the level achieved in the course.”Martin Zakostelecky, LanguageCourse.Net - Apr 12, 2024I would like to know how to select schools according to their size. Only size L schools interest me. How can I do it?“We do not have a filter to classify schools by size.
However, you will find the information for each school in their description: when you look at the list of schools, it is right below the school name.”Melanie Besnard, LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 07, 2024I am interested in booking an English programme in North Carolina. Do you have any options?“At the time of writing, the school American Language Academy in Greensboro offers English Lessons for students of all levels.”Ana Carolina Dos Santos, LanguageCourse.Net - Sep 04, 2023I am currently located in Nashville and I am interested in finding a school where I can study English. Can you suggest any schools in the area?“At the time of writing, our partner school is ELS, which is located in the Murfreesboro area.”Ana Carolina Dos Santos, LanguageCourse.Net - Sep 04, 2023Do you have any partner schools in Texas?“At the time of writing, our partner school in Texas is Aston International Academy in Austin.”Ana Carolina Dos Santos, LanguageCourse.Net - Aug 28, 2023Are there any schools in the North Carolina region that you partner with?“Yes, at the time of writing, we have a partner school in Greensboro.”Ana Carolina Dos Santos, LanguageCourse.Net - Aug 28, 2023Can I learn English in person if I am 61 years old?
“Of course you can! Age should never be an impediment.
The schools accept students of all adult age groups. This means that you will be with other international students, older or younger than you. Groups are organised according to language level, not age, although in high season, if there is more than one group of the same level, the age of the students will also be taken into account. To give you an idea, the average age during the year is around 25-30 years old, while in summer it goes down to 20-25 years old. Please note that some schools have a higher or lower average age. You can find this information on the website, but you can always come to me.”Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - Jul 31, 2023
