Program Description:

For over 27 years, FLS has been a leader in innovative English language programs. With our winning combination of committed teachers, a contemporary curriculum, and creative ways for students to use English in the community, it’s no surprise that FLS students finish our programs with new fluency and confidence!

FLS core classes are a major part of our English Programs. Made up of 9 levels from Low Beginner to High Advanced, the core sequence is an integrated skills program that teaches speaking, listening, reading, and writing through a modern curriculum, teacher coaching and communicative activities. Our system simulates the way you learned your native language, through the natural use of all skills together. The daily core class uses modern, colorful textbooks with fascinating topics, an American reader and regular testing of your progress. Each class also includes English Everywhere Hot Sheets, with key vocabulary, conversation starters and important lessons highlights. With our regular Language Extension activities, students take their English abilities into new, challenging situations. The core class levels will take students from a foundational understanding of English grammar all the way to the proficiency required for success at an American college.
