Course description

MORNING ENGLISH CLASSES:
To immerse students in NYC life and culture, our classes take place in public places throughout the city, such as Dumbo, Essex Market, Union Square, Brookfield Place, Industry City, Bryant Park and many more. Instead of being in a room with 4 walls, the city becomes the students' classroom! The locations have been chosen based on comfort, space, ease of access, points of interest close by, proximity of public restrooms...

Our classes are rich in cultural content and conversation with an added interactive approach to learning English. In addition to completing homework, book assignments, participating in pair work and discussion, students get the added bonus of learning about NYC in truly authentic NYC settings.

Our teachers are qualified, experienced, and use an action-based, communicative method to encourage students to interact and use the language as much as possible. 8 students per class max, grouped together according to level.

ACTIVITY PROGRAM:
The activity program for the young adults includes some of the best activities to do in New York – Broadway show, baseball game, The Summit, the Brooklyn Bridge etc… as well as plenty of free time to discover the city without supervision. Unlike the junior program, the young adult program allows the students to have a lot more freedom to go out after scheduled activities.

Included: all the selected afternoon and evening activities in the package, breakfast and dinner, residence accommodation and subway pass.
Not included: lunches, airport transfers, optional Sunday excursion, supervision outside of scheduled activities.

The Young Adults program is the best of both worlds: knowing that all the best activities are organized and included, while being able to enjoy plenty of freedom and free time in the City too!

ACCOMMODATION & MEALS:
Students stay in our student residence in the heart of Brooklyn Heights – only 1 subway stop from Manhattan and 5 minutes’ walk from one of the best views of the New York skyline from the Brooklyn Promenade. It is the best location to enjoy New York by day and by night! Students will be able to come and go as they please to make the most of their stay.

Accommodation is in twin room, half-board, with another EO Young Adult student of the same gender and different nationality. Dinner time at the Park Plaza Restaurant will be different from supervised junior students. Young Adults will have free time everyday to buy their own lunch.

"It was unsual and interesting experience"

Iga Adamska, student from USA

I really liked the classes. Locations were interesting, I’ve seen many new places and had an opportunity to learn more about them. I enjoyed talking with my teacher and discussing some interesting aspects. It was both theoretical part where I was able to learn more and talk more fluently and practical part during when we saw some great places.

"Amelia, my teacher, was just perfect: highly skilled, flexible and so nice. Meeting at different places added to the experience."

Brigitte Cayron, student from Israel

I didn’t need facilities or housing since I stayed at my daughter’s who’s been living in Brooklyn. Nor did I really needed different locations since I’m familiar with NYC thanks to my long stays over the years. For the rest of it, I wanted to perfectionate my spoken English and I made the best of what is possible to achieve in two weeks. Improving my fluency, learning idioms, the way natives speak was useful and fun. I liked everything except the weather :))

"Great program if you want to learn english and visit nyc at the same time!"

Salomé Lux, student from France

I was in the advanced group, and in one week I learned a few things, it was pretty good to have classes outdoors and not to be in a classroom. We were a group of seven teenagers and that was good, because the teacher could help us all. The afternoons were great, because we were on our own, we could do whatever we wanted (with limits of course), and the activities were the best to do! We discovered so much!
I wasn’t in a host family, I was at a friend’s, so I don’t know how it feels like, but of course, we had work to do. I had two days to prepare a presentation on a random subject about NYC, and I was kind of stressed about it (I’m a stressed person in general), and we had a little bit of presure for the final test (but I understand we weren’t in vacation but here to work).
The locations were always great I loved it !

"Great experience"

Najima Banouh, student from France

The teacher is amazing
I really liked the fact that we were not a lot of students, only 4. We could learn a lot in a small Amount of time
.
The outdoor classes is a really interesting concept. We could discover new places in New York every day. The hours of classes are perfect from 10 to 1.30, free afternoon to discover the city.

The level of classes was not very advanced though. If you are looking for advanced English, this program will probably not suit you
The housing is amazing +++, lovely family, perfect neighborhood. This was a really good point

"Very positve experience and friendly people"

Magdalena Bieniek, student from Poland

I liked the classes size - 2-3 students, very intensive schedule. Teachers were very friendly and helpful, always willing to explain any queries or doubts. Fantastic location of the school. I liked Fridays - the summary of the week + program for the weekend and the coming week.

"Challenging"

Rossella Pappagallo, student from Italy

There was a problem with elementary course because I was the one student. The teachers were expert and patient, but there was not sufficiently coordination between them.

"Wonderful experience"

Jose Grateraux, student from Dominican Republic

I had a wonderful experience in Brooklyn. Maybe is much better if the school have two difference teachers for intensive program.


All day with a single teacher, its too much.

"Good"

Reetta Parviainen, student from Finland

The classes were great (small like they promised), and the location was perfect. I didn't live in the shared student house, but I went there a couple of times and it was not clean.

"I really enjoyed my time in New York City"

Max Degenkolb, student from Austria

I just can recommend the Brooklyn School of Languages to everyone! The school was very nice and all the staff were very friendly, and this also includes the activity leaders and the teachers. The activities were very nice, and I enjoyed the workshops which took place twice a week. The host family was very nice and friendly. There was absolutely nothing I didn’t like.

"A good way to travel on your own"

Nerea Gabellanes, student from Spain

The teacher, the location and the facilities were wonderful but the classes were not my level. I think the grammar taught was too easy but I could learn some new vocabulary. The activities we did with the school were good. The location of the house was good because I could walk to the school but the problem was that my bedroom was next to a very noisy highway and I had to wear earplugs to sleep. Besides, I think the house wasn't clean enough. The owner of the house didn't want us to cook any meat at home because he is vegetarian. I think I should know that beforehand.
