School Introduction

ELS in Boston is a popular location that has just moved to the beautiful campus of Mt. Ida College - a wealthy suburb just 30 minutes by shuttle bus/subway from downtown Boston. Boston is famous for its world famous universities, excellent museums and historical significance. Cape Cod beaches, skiing in the New England mountains and trips to nearby cities. ELS Boston is a designated IELTS Testing center.

ESL Program Introduction

ELS Language Centers students may choose either an Intensive English Program or Semi-Intensive English Program offering 12 levels of instruction (from Beginners to highly Advanced "Masters" levels). The Intensive Program of 30 lesson hours per week is the faster way to meet your study goals - whether personal, professional, or university-specific. The Semi-Intensive Program of 20 lesson hours per week meets these goals at a different pace and allows for more time in the afternoon for exploration and leisure. Both programs include English Structure & Speaking Practice (with grammar) and Reading & Writing and use the communicative method of in-class instruction. Both also include an Individualized Learning Plan through new state-of-the-art Language Technology centers.

The Intensive English Program afternoon classes include Skills Enhancement "electives", which vary according to student interest. Sample Skills Enhancement classes may include TOEFL Preparation, Business English, Pronunciation, American Idioms, Contact America or other classes.

Private instruction is also available at this location.
