ESL Program Introduction

Goal Training Educational Center offers Intensive and Semi-Intensive ESL courses, TOEFL test preparation and professional certificate programs in Business, Hospitality, Medical and Legal Assisting.

Our special American Cultural Studies Program brings together ideas from many academic fields and disciplines including, but not limited to: anthropology, art history, environmental studies, history, literature, economics, sociology and gender and ethnic studies. Class discussions raise questions about the American dream and about the lived experience of American democracy which has renewed relevance in the post 9/11 context. American Studies students also look outside of the classroom to answer these questions, by going on study-tours of sites of significance in the Chicagoland area.
