CHANGING LIVES THROUGH LANGUAGE
Since 1961, ELS has helped more than 1.2 million students from over 143 countries around the world learn English quickly and effectively. Our goal is to prepare our students to compete, excel, and achieve in the global workplace by offering English language and competencies training.
Students experience both fast-paced city life in Chicago, the largest city in the Midwest, and suburban life in River Forest, Illinois. The location for these English classes in Chicago is the beautiful ivy-covered campus of Dominican University.
Nearby, Chicago offers a vast array of exciting activities that students expect from a major city. They include famous pizza joints, ethnic foods and fine dining, world-famous museums, regular music festivals and outdoor concerts, sporting events, and ice skating in the winter. Students can enjoy Lake Michigan, the city’s unique architectural buildings, Shedd Aquarium, a zoo, and amusement park.
What’s better than pairing your English studies with a holiday? Not much.
The ELS American Explorer course allows you to improve your English proficiency in a casual learning environment, even while visiting the U.S. on holiday. The structure of the course includes English courses in the morning and free time in the afternoon and evening.
If you’re planning a holiday to the United States and want to get the most out of your visit, learning English is a great option. In the classroom, you will have the opportunity to become proficient in English, which will make your overall holiday more enjoyable, as you will be able to immerse yourself in the culture with more confidence. The casual American Explorer course curriculum ensures you will not be overwhelmed with your English studies, so you can relax on your holiday.
Studying in the United States can unlock a myriad of opportunities for international students. The Intensive English program from ELS will help you take advantage of these opportunities by ensuring you are confident in your English speaking abilities.
The Intensive English language course will prepare you for academic success. The comprehensive curriculum is designed to include all aspects of academic communication to ensure you are comfortable in any setting on a college or university campus. Confidence and comfort are important factors in academic success and can make studying in the United States much more enjoyable.
Communication plays a major role in academic success and the Intensive English program from ELS will help give you confidence on day one of your studies, allowing you to focus on your coursework, rather than juggling language learning and coursework at the same time.
Our Semi-Intensive English language program offers students the opportunity to study English in the United States, while also having the freedom to explore and experience the culture. This is done through a structured schedule, where students attend English classes during the morning and have the afternoons to themselves, allowing them to meet new friends, visit landmarks or plan trips to exciting new places.
