OUR PROGRAM
LIT’s mission is to meet the wide range of personal, vocational, and academic needs of students so that they can become confident speakers of English and fully functional participants in English-speaking society. As such, LIT’s English Program is designed from top to bottom to achieve this goal. LIT offers eight levels of instruction, ranging from beginner to advanced English. At each level, students take four courses that are centered on one or more of the core skills of reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Students who complete Level 7 and 8 have the option of taking the TOEFL preparation course that is centered around the skills and strategies necessary for achieving success on the TOEFL iBT Exam.
LIT Learning Objectives
From the start, we want students to learn skills that can be immediately utilized and incorporated into their lives. More than anything, we wish to serve as facilitators between students and language for the ultimate goal of enabling students to realize and express themselves in English. To this end, the following components comprise LIT’s integrated and holistic approach to language acquisition: • Meaningful and Practical Learning • Repetition and Practice • Natural Language • Active, Student-Centric Learning
