Learn English
Learn English from highly qualified, experienced instructors and enjoy U.S. culture in a safe, student-friendly environment.
An Effective, Enjoyable Way to Learn
Enjoy U.S. Culture in the Classroom
Courses are taught using themes that are relevant in U.S. culture. The themes are connected in all classes: reading, writing, listening, speaking, and grammar.
Class materials come from the same sources U.S. students use: college textbooks, novels, magazines, newspapers, journals, the Internet, and current videos.
Interact, Communicate, and Learn Together
Because of the diverse nationalities, English is likely to be the only language everyone has in common—so everyone speaks English in class. Our program focuses on communicative English, not repetitive drills.

International Student Scholarships Application and Instructions
Studying at the IALC has been one of the greatest experiences in my life. I have met many people from all over the world. When I came to the U.S., I did not speak any English. That was so frustrating, but my teachers have done a great job. I can now speak English. Everything is easier. I am really excited about being here in the U.S. and studying at the IALC.”
