The Language Academy TLA is one of the largest, most well-known and respected language schools in the United States, which opened its doors in 1998 for the first time. Today, the network schools are located in many large cities in the US, and popular summer camps for teenagers from around the world (14-18 years old) are opened in Fort Lauderdale, Miami Gardens and Los Angeles.
At school, students are offered not only an effective and balanced English course, but also a variety of leisure and entertainment activities, excursions - so students can practice their knowledge and skills in a free, informal atmosphere, and also learn a lot about the culture and history, the sights of the USA.
The Language Academy TLA strives to offer each student a lesson in close connection with his personal and academic needs, preferences and abilities, comprehensively developing all key language skills:
Before starting the education, all students undergo an introductory test to determine their initial level of knowledge and abilities: by results, they are allocated to the appropriate level of the group, which makes learning more productive and comfortable. In addition, students-beginners are waiting for a personal interview with a senior teacher who will also check his level of preparation. The first day of the school's stay also includes a sightseeing tour and an introduction to the campus, with the features and benefits of living in Fort Lauderdale. Weekly testing and control tests are conducted to track the progress of students, on any given day a student will be able to take individual counseling or additional lessons from teachers.
Summer universal, general English course is available for students with any level of initial education. Upon arrival, all students undergo an introductory test, which distributes them to the appropriate group according to the existing level of knowledge:
During the first day of novice students, an interview is also awaited with the senior teacher (who also helps with the distribution), an introduction to the campus and the main attractions and benefits of living in Fort Lauderdale.
