New York Language Center uses a practical approach to teaching our students English. Our highly conversational classes emphasize oral fluency as a major goal. From the very first class at even the basic level, students will use in a practical and realistic way. We believe that the ability to ask questions is a critical skill and we encourage active participation and natural production of language forms. In order to learn English, the language must become spontaneous. All classes include realistic practice in real life situations. Translation is not allowed. Many students who have studied English in their home countries know the language passively but cannot use it. We try to break the barrier. Our instructors have specific goals for each week. These goals encompass what students can do at the end of the lesson. Oral and written assessments allow students to gauge their achievements.

English Outdoors is an original and innovative concept of lessons outside sof the classroom, in locations all over the city, allowing students to sight-see and discover more of NYC while they study English. Instead of being in a room with 4 walls, students learn in places such as Bryant Park, Union Square, Essex Market, Central Park, DUMBO, Industry City and more. The city is their classroom! Locations have been carefully chosen based on comfort, space, ease of access, proximity of public restrooms, etc. Alternative indoor locations are planned for rainy days, so lessons are guaranteed, every day, whatever the weather. Being immersed in the city adds a unique element to the classroom experience. Instead of simply discussing NYC related topics in a classroom, students can truly experience NYC life and culture first-hand in authentic settings. Classes are rich in cultural content and conversation and also include regular cultural and educational field trips around the city.

NEW YORK CITY New York City is in reality a collection of many neighborhoods scattered among the city’s five boroughs, Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island. While Manhattan and Staten Island are islands, Brooklyn and Queens are geographically part of Long Island, and the Bronx is attached to the US mainland. The islands are linked by bridges, tunnels, and ferries. For the past two centuries, New York has been the largest and wealthiest American city. It’s an architectural marvel with many historic monuments, impressive buildings, and countless magnificent skyscrapers. Besides the architectural delights, New York is an urban jungle that has everything to offer to visitors. The city is home to numerous museums, parks, trendy neighborhoods, and shopping streets. It’s the most ethnically diverse, religiously varied, commercially driven, famously congested, and the most attractive urban center in the USA.
