Intensive English Program

Our most popular and comprehensive program, the Intensive English Program includes 30 lessons (25 hours) of instruction per week from qualified, native-speaking teachers.

Your teacher will work with you for the entire 30 lessons! Unlike other programs, our IEP does not count ‘lab hours’ or other independent study periods as lessons.

Our program places an exceptional emphasis on speaking. Students practice speaking skills frequently in class, receiving regular guidance and correction from their instructor.

All Intensive English Program students enjoy these exceptional features:

  • Nine levels of study from low beginner to high advanced.
  • Small class sizes of 15 or less, guaranteeing individual attention from your teacher.
  • Core Class emphasizing the four key language skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing.
  • Elective Class devoted to a specific topic or skill, such as TOEFL, Slang, Business English, American Culture, Public Speaking, Grammar, Composition, and more.
  • Our exclusive English Everywhere program with weekly Hot Sheets, involving your host family, activity guides and FLS staff in your learning process. 
  • Weekly tests and individualized progress reports every four weeks.
  • Language Extension activities once per term, encouraging students to use English in new settings and contexts.
  • Readers to increase reading comprehension and understanding of American culture (for High Beginner and above).
  • Access to college computer facilities, libraries and labs at Citrus, MiraCosta, Marymount and Lock Haven locations.
