INTENSIVE ENGLISH PROGRAM FOR PROFESSIONALS

Conversa uses a modern linguistic method of instruction called Situational Reinforcement, used by the State Department of the United States to teach its diplomats and employees foreign languages. Conversa uses textbooks from well-known publishing houses such as Prentice Hall. We select textbooks that meet the particular needs of each student, be they grammar, engineering, or business English. Each student is given a placement test at the beginning of the program to determine their level of English. Conversa asks the student what their professional or academic goals are. This helps us to design the best program for each student. Our teachers are professional, university educated instructors trained in the methodology of Conversa.

They have the skills to make constant adjustments to the program to ensure that each student learns quickly and reaches his/her goals.

Class schedules are flexible, but many students take three to seven hours of classes daily, Monday through Friday, and five hours on Saturdays with a lunch break. The student may take extra hours on Saturdays or during the week if he/she wishes to receive a more intensive program. The student also has the option of eating lunch with the professor at a restaurant; however, the majority of students eat lunch at Conversa with other students and professors and enjoy casual conversation in English. Classes may begin any week.
