As much as possible, we do try to find host families through our Culture Bridges program so that students do have an opportunity to have dinner and visits to American homes. A The Culture Bridges program, a joint program of ALCC and the Education Continuum makes every effort to connect students with native speakers. We try to place students in a level that is appropriate for them so that the classes will not be too easy or too difficult for anyone who is motivated. If the student needs extra work, the homeroom teacher will be sure that the student has extra assignments and support. Individual lessons are available in the Computer Lab.
Tutorial support is also available at additional cost.
There are also Transitional Programs for students in the Undergraduate or Graduate Schools. We teach the listening, speaking, reading, writing, and study skills that students need for academic success. Students will read and write about topics related to their academic studies. Students will learn word processing skills. You should bring bedding and towels, etc. from home, or you may buy bedding at nearby stores when you arrive.
