WELCOME TO NEW YORK LANGUAGE CENTER
OUR MISSION:About New York Language CenterNew York Language Center was found-ed in 1985 and has four locations in New York City. Our main campus is located in the exciting Fashion District of Manhattan, a few blocks from Times Square. Our other locations are all in safe residential neighborhoods near public transportation. All locations are equipped with computer labs and wire-less internet access. Our main campus in midtown Manhattan has a student lounge and library and occupies two floors in a modern office building. Stu-dents will enjoy a comfortable learning environment and easy access to all our wonderful city has to offer.
New York Language Center is licensed by the New York State Education De-partment and is authorized under federal law to enroll non-immigrant foreign stu-dents.
WHERE DO OUR STUDENTS COME FROM?
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 English in a practi-cal 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 that barrier.
Our instructors have specific goals for each week. These goals encompass what stu-dents can do at the end of the lesson. Oral and written assessments allow students to gauge their achievement.
