students' English proficiency in order to prepare them for further academic
endeavors at American colleges and universities. However, the course is also
designed for students who find joy in learning new language.

to make an accurate examination on each student's English proficiency and place
them in an appropriate level of class. TLC also provides students with an
optional sixth block lesson at no extra cost.
Curriculum :
The Intensive English Program evolves around a 4-week
session during which 25 hours of classroom lessons are given per week. At the
end of each session, students receive a Final Grade Report from their
instructors, making its possible for students to see their whereabouts and
outcomes. Equal instruction is given at nine different levels, from beginner to
advanced. Beginners (Level 1-3) learn to communicate in every day situations,
understand simple dialogues, read starting level passages and express their
thoughts in a basic manner of writing. Intermediates (Level 4-6) learn to
express themselves through writing with less errors than beginners, incorporate
grammatical structure and rules in writing, develop academic vocabulary and
understand longer reading passages. Advanced students (Level 7-9) learn to
freely discuss issues on specific topics, participate in debates, write
professional paper that incorporates the discussions and analyze other reports
written by authorities and
professionals.
