|
|
According to a Language Travel Magazine survey, here are some of the things students do not like about language schools:
1) Too many students from my country
2) Classes too large
3) Too many students from my language group
Another common issue among language students was students not practicing English outside of the classroom. This was especially true for students in large cities where it was easy to find stores where the student's native language was spoken. _________________ Niagara Summer Programs |

Accredited teachers with degrees and/or TESL/TEFL/TESOL
training
Excellent curriculum
Convenience and flexibility to work with your life's schedule.
Comfortable learning environment
Welcoming attitude
helpful and friendly
If you can hear about the school's reviews from other students, that is helpful too - sometime you can find that online on the internet
I do classes with http://esl.acesquaredtraining.com/
I have asked about the teachers education and training and about what I am going to learn. You can work at your own convenience because the classes are online. |

Hello! I am from Brasil and I am going to my study English in Canada or in Ireland where I can also work. I will go late in this year.
Does somebody know about a school in Dublin in Ireland please? I prefer to go in Ireland I think
Thank you!  |

| I think the number one thing to look for is good teachers, or schools that put a high emphasis on choosing good teachers. Small class size is also a huge plus, as you will better be able to access help when you need it. Living in student housing with students of different nationalities also helps. |
