LSI Language Learning System We’re passionate about language learning. That’s why we’re constantly reviewing the latest trends and methodology in the field. Academic staff from every LSI school participate in the research and development of our programmes. We ensure that the latest theories of language learning are considered and tested throughout our centres. That’s why every one of our schools is a healthy environment for learning. It also means that our students benefit from a massive academic team based throughout 15 schools in 8 different countries. Developed and refined over the last 40 years, the following points are fundamental to our language learning system:
Language Immersion
Latest Materials
Cultural Exchange
At LSI we believe that the best way to learn a language is to study in the country where the language is spoken. We want you to immerse yourself in the culture or, as we say, ‘live the language’. This is the most efficient and satisfying way to learn the language, and remains at the core of LSI’s language learning system.
We’re constantly reviewing the latest materials available for language learning. We provide you with what our academic team have identified as being the very best course books currently available for your level. We are also committed to providing the latest technology inside the classroom. We utilise the most cutting edge audio, video and web based resources.
We are proud of and committed to the cultural exchange that happens within our centres. As you ‘learn and live the language’ you will gain a greater understanding of the country that you are studying in. And as our students come from all over the world, our centres are not just places to learn languages, but are also places to meet people from other backgrounds and cultures. This is why our students find our programme to be such an enriching experience.
LSI Levels Upon arrival at any LSI school, we’ll give you a comprehensive language level test so we ensure you go straight into the right level for you. LSI levels have been closely matched against the Common European Framework, TOEFL iBT, TOEIC, IELTS and Cambridge English Language Assessment examinations. To move up to the next LSI level you need to master our specific ‘level objectives’, which you can demonstrate by test scores and class participation. At LSI we understand that some students learn faster than others, so our course is tailored for you as the individual. Through systematic testing and teacher appraisal, the school academic director will track your progress and will identify exactly when you have mastered the level objectives and are ready to move up to the next level.
Online Resources/Distance Learning We understand that the internet is making profound changes to language learning. That’s why we’re committed to building an online community of language learners. We have developed and continue to build a series of online resources that mirror the week by week in-class programme at each of our centres worldwide. Although these resources cannot replace the benefits of language immersion or the unique experience in the school, they are a comprehensive supplement to our in-class programme and can be used independently for distance learning. You can follow our programme online before arriving at the school and you can continue studying after leaving the school. For more details on how we’re using technology to expand our programme, visit our website.
Quality Teachers We understand that our students’ single most identifiable measure of programme quality is the teacher. That’s why at LSI we only work with the very best teachers; experienced, highly motivated and qualified with country specific teaching credentials. We have a systematic programme of teacher development and performance evaluation. All of our students are regularly invited to provide feedback so that we can ensure that your teacher meets your expectations.

ISY & Your Expectations As ISY courses are anywhere from 24 to 48 weeks in length we expect our students to achieve excellent results. The level reached after an ISY course depends on a variety of factors: • Duration of the course – the longer the course, the better the results • Number of lessons – often a more intensive course taken over a shorter period yields better results • The language level of the students – the higher the language level, the more time it may take to advance to the next level Final results will always depend on you, the student. Active participation in afternoon social activities, making new friends from all over the world, immersing yourself in the local culture, as well as speaking the target language as much as possible will have enormous results on your achievements.

Accommodation & Social Programme Studying abroad gives you the opportunity not just to study the language, but also to get to know your host country and its people. All LSI language centres offer a choice of accommodation including homestays with our carefully selected host families, college residential accommodation or hotels. In addition, all our schools offer a fun and varied social programme that allows you to make the most of your time abroad while practising your language skills in a natural environment and making new friends from around the world.
LSI Homestays Our carefully selected homestays offer friendly, comfortable surroundings in which you can experience what life is really like in your host country. Many of our students stay in touch with their host families for years afterwards.
