Hello everybody! I am interested to know if DirectEnglish, Berlitz and Wallstreet schools really do a good job,and teach english in a proper way and if they use the latest and up-to-date methods and technology to do it. I would like to send my daughter to a schhol like that in order to boost her English, but i am not sure which school to choose. Please, if anybody knows something about these schools please respond. I want to know which a pluses and which are minuses of each of the schools. Thanks in advance!

My best regards

Berlitz uses instructors. They use only the target language (Only English if they are teaching English) They get the student to speak English 60% of the time and the teacher speaks 40% of the time. Their books are fabulous and very modern. designed in-house. They have CD ROMS, internet teaching follow-up, and a fabulours magazine.

Berlitz has been teaching languages for nearly 150 years. They have language teaching centres in more than 150 countries. IBM, Microsoft, Proctor and Gamble, Siemens, have been using them for years

Wall Street uses computers to teach. Their methods are impersonal and my friends who have used them did not like their methods. You are stuck in front of a computer for your lessons. Boring.
