Therefore, you can choose where you will study English: in crowded New York, windy Chicago, on the sun-drenched shores of Miami, or, for example, in calm and balanced Washington. Most language schools operating in the US are networked institutions. That is, they work according to the same standards and maintain the same good level of training, regardless of where they are located.
All language courses in the USA can be divided into three groups:
1. Main course - General English (of varying degrees of intensity). These are classes aimed at learning the English language in general. Such training is suitable for those who plan to live, study and / or work in an English-speaking country in the future. The course can be conducted in a standard mode or intensive - for those who want to have time to learn more in a relatively short time.
2. Preparation for IELTS, TOEFL, Cambridge exams. The main goal of training is to “train” you to pass exams. The program is always optimized for the format of the exam; in the classroom, students solve typical tests that are encountered in these exams. For the convenience of students, most schools also offer to take the exam itself at the end of the preparatory course.
3. Specialized courses. it can be business English, or, for example, specific vocabulary related to some subject area (chemistry, biology, IT industry, and so on). Such programs will be useful for those who want to run their own business or easily get a job in their specialty in an English-speaking country.
Accommodation options offered to students can also be different: living in an American family, in a studio, residence, apartment or hotel room. Naturally, if you want to immerse yourself in the language environment as much as possible, it is advisable to find a school that offers accommodation in American families. Communication in English not only during classes or walks around the city, but also at home allows you to achieve even greater success in mastering it.
Usually, students are offered partial board meals (breakfast and lunch or breakfast only), as well as all modern amenities: Wi-Fi Internet access, kitchen area, household appliances, laundry, computer access, and the like.
The duration of the program can be from one to several weeks. The standard intensity course involves 20-30 lessons lasting 40-50 minutes. Depending on the language school, these parameters may vary.

Features of teaching English in language schools in America

Studying and living in the USA provide an opportunity to be in a truly international environment.

US Language School Programs
English language schools in America offer a variety of courses, programs and study options. In order to make it easier to understand them, we have combined the most important characteristics of the programs into several groups.
- General English, levels: Basic, Elementary, Pre-Intermediate, Intermediate, Super-Intermediate, Pre-Advanced, Advanced.
- Professional English - business vocabulary, English for economists, lawyers, accountants, etc. For these programs, the student must have a certain language level - it will not be possible to study them from scratch.

- Part-time, 10-15 hours a week - usually on standard, a great option for tourists who want to combine leisure and study English in courses in the USA.
- Standard workload, 18-20 hours a week - will leave enough time for homework, communication, museums, entertainment and shopping.
- Intensive, 20-30 hours a week, is the most popular training format among foreign students, allowing you to master a large amount of material in a short time, but still leaving some time for communication and entertainment.
- Super-intensive, 35+ hours per week - suitable for the most motivated students, as it assumes that you will almost completely focus on classes, and there will not be too much free time. But with such a pace of work, one can count on impressive progress.
3. Size of study groups:
- Standard groups up to 15 people - the groups are quite large, which requires the student to be active: do not be shy to ask questions, ask for additional explanations and, of course, it is very important to work with full dedication, completing all the tasks with high quality.
- Mini-groups, 4-8 people - according to many English teachers, this is the optimal group size, in which it is easier to learn new material, learn to understand the speech of different people by ear and develop conversational skills.
- Individual lessons - one-on-one lessons with a teacher, perhaps the most effective way to learn a language, because they provide an individual approach and allow you to pay maximum attention to topics that cause the most difficulties.
So, when choosing English courses in America, determine: the content of the program - the intensity of training - the size of the group.

To obtain an F1 visa, a student must have an academic load of 20 hours per week. One of the advantages of this type is the permission to work on campus 20 hours a week during the semester and full-time during the holidays (for students in programs lasting 6 months or more)

- San Francisco,
- New York.

- Spanish American Institute (Manhattan),
- Kingsborough Community College, and others.
The choice of a city for those who are going to study in America further depends to a greater extent on the university planned for admission. It would be logical to take language courses at this university or at least in the same city.
Those whose goal is to combine business with pleasure, that is, improve their language and relax, or engage in a hobby plus English, should pay attention to the programs provided by summer schools in the United States in resort cities: San Diego, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Hawaii.

Language courses in the USA: good or bad?
The price of language courses for Russians, Kazakhs and other citizens of the post-Soviet space is quite high. This is one of the main disadvantages of studying in America.
Also, our compatriots note the difficulties in obtaining and renewing a visa, differences in mentalities and the education system in general. However, the level of knowledge taught and the possibility of immigration with subsequent employment in the country more than cover these shortcomings.
Language programs have no age restrictions, are diverse in directions and prices, up to free ones. Russian-speaking visitors are treated very friendly here, which is also a big plus.
Language courses in the USA: Video
On the territory of the country there are 2 categories of schools: public and private, the quality of education, the level of teaching, infrastructure conditions in both are controlled by special commissions. Private language schools in the USA can be international and national, classical and network - network language schools in the USA offer combined English and travel programs, while lessons are held in different departments and training centers of the network.
So, the FLS International language school offers its students training in the cinematography camp. That is, within the framework of the program, students will be able not only to improve their knowledge of the English language, but also have time to create their own short film during the course (3 weeks). Children, schoolchildren and teenagers will do this with the help of mentors who have real experience of working on Hollywood venues.
This thematic curriculum includes 18 English lessons and 8 cinematography lessons each week. In a similar fashion, FLS International is organizing a basketball camp for students in Boston, as well as language camps with acting or surfing in Los Angeles and beyond.
In addition, for children with creative inclinations, curricula are offered by the Rennert school in New York, and for those who prefer to develop in a sports aspect, the St Giles language school in California is perfect.
Also, almost every network of educational institutions provides students, in addition to the general study of English, preparation for the main international exams - these are TOEFL, ELTS, SAT English, SAT Math and others. Such training programs are often held on the basis of colleges or universities, where they have excellent equipment and infrastructure: a swimming pool, various sports grounds, their own libraries and much more. In addition, here young students will have the opportunity to feel like students, albeit for a short period.
As for the daily routine in an American language school, regardless of its variety, one day in a student's life will look about the same. According to the standard English learning program for children and teenagers, up to 3 hours of classes per day (usually in the first half) are provided, for intensive training programs - up to 6 hours of language. Children can devote their free time to sports, or to the development of creativity in the appropriate circles on the territory of the training center.
In addition to the basis of the academic program, the administration of language schools abroad also organizes the entertainment and leisure part. For example, twice a week, the guys have the opportunity to go on a sightseeing tour to some culturally significant place in the country (specific examples of excursions will depend on the chosen school, since each region of America has its own iconic places).
It is worth noting that foreigners have access to US language schools and centers throughout the academic year - in autumn, winter and spring. At the same time, the largest flow of students falls, of course, in the summer months. At this time of the year, the weather is excellent almost anywhere in the country, so such holidays can become one of the brightest moments in the life of every child.
Only experienced teachers are engaged with students of language schools, and for the greatest efficiency of the educational process, classes are held in small groups of up to 15 people. So the teacher will be able to pay enough attention to each of the students, and therefore make his stay in the language camp the most productive. The formats of the summer language program in schools and educational centers in America are adapted to different age categories of students - for very young students these are interactive games, and for older children and teenagers - a more academic format for presenting material and immersion in various life situations.
At the same time, students of any age receive the necessary knowledge in each of the key sections of the language - vocabulary, grammar, writing and speaking. Special attention is paid to the formation of the correct application of the listed aspects of the English language in American schools. The events of various formats, which the school also organizes, help to consolidate new material well: these can be competitions, quizzes, meetings with media personalities and interesting people, and many others.
