ESI Language Centers (ESILC) offers English language courses
that would allow primary and secondary students to obtain
better results than in the public and private teaching
systems. ESI Language Centers uses the communicative
approach which is based on the initial diagnosis of the
students’ linguistic strengths and weaknesses and on the
belief that each student deserves a made to measure program
taking into account a unique learning profile. The learning
of the English language in large groups, where the objective
is proficiency, is unattainable. On the other hand, the
concept of made to measure program is an infallible recipe
that respects and recognizes a student's specific learning
traits completely.
ESILC’s communicative method focuses on contemporary
everyday conversation. At ESILC, our purpose is to enable
our students to become proficient in the English language so
that they may express themselves with anyone, anywhere,
anytime and about anything.
ESILC’s courses have proven time and time again how
efficient the communicative method is because "it is by
talking that you learn how to talk".
ESILC offers education for every age group from elementary,
secondary, high school and adult classes. Those who have
already studied English are accepted upon completion of an
individual placement test.
We use a wide range of textbooks for the various age groups
- from beginners to advanced students. Our goal is to
present the material in an entertaining and educational
manner, including exercises that stimulate the willingness
to study.
Parents whose children study at ESILC can rest assured that:
• Their children will study in a group of children the same
age and with a similar command of the English language
• The language is learned and consolidated mainly in the
class
• They can acquire a personal impression of the atmosphere
in the classroom during the open lessons at the end of each
term (for pupils at elementary classes)
• At the end of the school year, they will be issued with a
detailed written report about their child's progress and
results

C. What is the course structure?
ESILC’s programs for preschoolers provide first time
exposure for children, ranging in ages from 3 years to 5
years old, to challenging learning environments while
focusing on the English languages using a phonemic approach;
using phonetic sounds to facilitate reading, writing, and
speaking. Students learn to read, write, and speak fluently
in two languages. The English section also aims to prepare
students for entering public school systems by developing
conversational skills needed in public school classes. ESILC
focuses on social and life skills necessary for adjusting
naturally.
Our programs also offer parents several options when
enrolling their children into preschool and kindergarten
programs.

gives a briefing about the lessons and the activities. The
courses are international. Students must be prepared to mix
with others and practice their English.
The aim of the lessons is general language improvement.
However, most students come to improve their communicative
skills and confidence and these are a high priority in
lesson planning. Students are expected to study seriously
and to do a small amount of homework each week.
