That first language course in Bournemouth feels like yesterday. I never imagined that 50 years later EF would grow so much and help millions of people study abroad, learn a language, discover a new culture and make friends all over the world. I’m really honored to have taken part in EF’s story and in its mission of opening the world through education.

After all these years, I’m still in touch with my homestay hosts. I’ll never forget how welcoming they were during my stay – including me in family dinner and even taking me out on their boat. I’m always surprised by a birthday card from them, every year without fail.

ABOUT EF

2013

I studied English for eight years before my trip – but learned so much in just the first few weeks at EF London. I’m finishing my studies in Switzerland and these last two years will all be in English. My trip abroad definitely prepared me for my international future.

OUR PERSONAL APPROACH EF students learn faster and more effectively with the dynamic, personalised approach of our proven method. EF courses go beyond the classroom to challenge students in varied ways and diverse environments, allowing them to experience the language instead of just studying it.

1. LEARN Classroom: Learn the fundamentals of your new language from experienced teachers during highly interactive classtime.

2. ABSORB Online: Learn at your own pace, through technology-enhanced study time.

3. APPLY Real world: Apply your new language skills in the real world, learning even more through interaction with native speakers.

1. LEARN Inspiring professional teachers Our teachers are selected for personality, dedication, enthusiasm and experience. They lead interactive, conversation-based classes that teach real-world language based on current events and everyday topics. Small class size We always limit class sizes (1215, max 17) so that you are sure to receive personal attention from your teachers. This ensures you will have the time to express

3. APPLY yourself and to interact with classmates from around the world. Technology-enhanced classtime You’ll learn your study language faster thanks to technology-enhanced interactivity in the classroom – from our innovative tablet app to engaging multimedia lessons. Interactive classrooms Our teachers are trained to use technology for your advantage,

so in addition to tablets, all of our learning environments are equipped with classroom media, projectors, a computer lab, and WiFi. Special Interest Lessons Make your language studies your own by taking Special Interest Lessons (SPINs) in the subjects you prefer. Every school offers dozens of SPINs, in a wide range of business, career, academic and arts-related topics. See p. XX.

Self-paced practice Complete assignments by utilising online flashcards, podcasts, videos, and much more. You can always work at your own pace, when you’re ready to study.

Life with the locals Reduce your accent, learn to speak naturally, and gain authenticity with local terms and phrases through constant interaction with native speakers.

Work experience

2. ABSORB Teacher-led study lessons Gain confidence by learning to express yourself in a natural way with the correct grammar and pronunciation. Your teacher is always there to answer any questions you may have.

Cultural excursions Benefit from guided learning while you speak, improve your listening comprehension, and discover the language outside the classroom with your teacher.

Non-stop mobile access Access a variety of additional lessons and activities online to maximise your course. Practice exams, access private lessons, and participate in online classes and guest lectures.

Most popular

Why is EF Intensive our most popular course? Because not only do you maximise the amount that your language skills improve, you also gain valuable time to practice with fellow students. This extra interaction enables you to communicate in a natural way, faster than on other courses, and in the process form lasting friendships. How many weeks should students enrol for an EF Intensive Course? The longer you study, the more you will improve, guaranteed. That’s why students seeking advanced language skills enrol for a minimum of 3 to 6 weeks. Keep in mind that Intensive students make progress 25 to 50% faster. A 6-week course allows most students to advance one full level of ability, and many intensive students choose to achieve greater fluency with courses of 3 months or more.
