What can you expect on this course?
Real English EC tried and tested formula for teaching English trains you in how to use the ‘real’ English you need to communicate effectively in an English speaking environment. Teachers take themes from textbooks and bring them to life in the classroom. You will learn the English that native English speakers really use and how and when to use it. We will focus on your overall level of English by showing you how to better use the English you already have, and then introducing you to new forms and patterns that will help to further your English ability.
Improve Your Fluency While you develop a better understanding of English with EC, you will notice that your ability to communicate in English becomes more natural. Accessing the words you want to use becomes easier and so does your ability to listen and understand quickly. As you start thinking more in English (and using your new English skills) you will notice the changes in your level of fluency.
Topic-Based Lessons At EC, we teach a range of topic-based lessons. Each lesson is accompanied by the language you need in order to effectively talk about the topic. This means the English skills you learn are taught within an easy to understand framework; the topics serve as clear and easy to follow examples. You can then work on applying your new skills simply, naturally and with great effect.
Support Your teachers will provide the support and guidance you need to improve your English. Individual focus on your progress will be provided throughout your course. Teachers provide feedback, error correction and helpful instruction on all areas of your English.
Great Classroom Atmosphere To create a good classroom environment, our teachers make sure their classrooms have positive atmospheres. Classes have a warm, supportive environment which help you to develop confidence in participating in all activities.
Authentic Materials The benefit of having quality lesson plans and related curriculum resources to use in class is that it allows our teachers more time to focus on what’s most important – teaching you! You can expect supplementary materials to be used alongside textbooks to perfectly complement your lessons.
Learn by Doing One of the best ways to learn how to do something is to do it. English language success is achieved through practise, self-perfection and appropriate modifications. You will have the chance to be actively involved in all activities in your class!

-
A Focused and Relaxed Classroom Environment Happy students learn better than unhappy ones! That’s not a secret, but it’s something that EC strongly believes.

Standard 15
This option involves 15 hours of one-to-one classes every week with your teacher at their home in New York City. You will be provided with your own bedroom and study area, where you can do extra work if desired. One of the main advantages of this home tuition programme is that you will continue to practise your English language communication skills outside of your class schedule, since you will have to speak the language with your host family and the people of New York.
Having the advantage of being introduced to New York City by a local family is a significant aid in and of itself, as this city’s enormous size can be overwhelming for newcomers who have to figure everything out for themselves. You will be shown the best ways to get around the city, including all the do’s and don'ts that you ought to know about. No matter what hobbies or sports you might be thinking of pursuing during your time here, it’s a guarantee that you’ll be able to find it somewhere here.
Although the subway network might seem confusing at first, you’ll quickly get the hang of things and you’ll be able to get around New York City independently, using your developing English skills in places like Central Park, the Union Square Greenmarket, among so many others.
In order to ensure that you have the learning experience you expect, HLI has a team of Local Organisers working in New York City to respond to any concerns you may have while learning English on their home tuition programme.

It is the most effective way to make rapid progress: you live with your teacher who will give you private language lessons and correct you at all times.

Choose the number of language lessons you require and personalise your Programme according to your needs, interests and preferences with a multitude of options and specialisations to choose from. Some things cannot be learnt by studying in the traditional way, fluency is achieved through living the language, using the target language constantly and in your everyday life. Culture, entertainment, leisure and current events are embedded in people’s language and these are as much part of the language learning process as the lessons.
Standard Course
The morning lessons (15 hours per week) all take place outside the classroom, in outdoor or indoor locations all over the city: parks, gardens, indoor markets, public atriums and other green spaces.

Reviews by former students who attended a General course in New York
Very friendly and helpful teachers and staff, mostly good and varied lessons.
I was very happy with everything and had a great time; Kings is definitely to be recommended. It was especially cool to live on a campus with real American students and share the school building and cafeteria; you won't get that chance again so quickly.
