LSI Language Learning System
We’re passionate about language learning. That’s why we’re constantly reviewing the latest trends
and methodology in the field.

Academic staff from every LSI schoolparticipate in the research and developmentof our programmes. We ensure that thelatest theories of language learning are
considered and evaluated throughout ourcentres. That’s why every one of our schools
is a healthy environment for learning.
The following points are fundamental to
our language learning system:

Language Immersion
At LSI we believe that the best way to learn
a language is to study in the country where
the language is spoken. We want you to
immerse yourself in the culture and truly‘live the language’.

LSI Levels
Upon arrival at any LSI school, we’ll give you
a comprehensive language level test so weensure you go straight into the right classfor you. LSI levels have been closely matchedto the Common European Framework,
TOEFL iBT, TOEIC, IELTS and Cambridge
English language assessment examinations.
To move up to the next LSI level you need tomaster our specific ‘level objectives’, which
you can demonstrate by test scores andclass participation.
At LSI we understand that some students
learn faster than others, so our course
is tailored for you as the individual.
There are regular opportunities todiscuss your progress with your teacher.

Through systematic testing, monitoring
your class performance and constant teacher
appraisal, the school academic director will
track your progress and identify exactly
when you have mastered the level objectives
and are ready to move up to the next level.
This monitoring and testing allows us tograde between and within levels, allowing
you to spend more time studying with thestudents and materials at the level which isright for you.

Latest Materials
We’re constantly reviewing the latest
materials available for language learning.
We provide you with what our academic
team have identified as being the very bestmaterials currently available for your level.
We are also committed to providing the latest
technology, utilising the most cutting edge
audio, video and web based resources tobring modern, real world language into
the classroom.

Quality Teachers
We understand that our students’ single
most identifiable measure of programme
quality is the teacher. That's why at LSI weonly work with dedicated, highly motivatedteachers, qualified with country specificteaching credentials.
As such we have a systematic programmeof teacher development and performance
evaluation. All of our students are regularly
invited to provide feedback so that we
can ensure that your teacher meets
your expectations.

Cultural Exchange
As you ‘learn and live the language’ you
will gain a greater understanding of thecountry in which you are studying. And as
our students come from all over the world,
our centres are not just places to learn
languages, but are also places to meet andshare experiences with people from a huge
range of backgrounds and cultures.
