Premium Intensive Language Program offers year-round every Monday with 25 lessons per week.This program, divided into levels 1-10, offers students from the false beginner to those almost fluent an Intensive program that integrates the four skills: speaking, reading, listening and writing. There is also an Academic Track of ESL programs geared toward students who plan to attend university. All of our English programs are taught by dynamic, experienced faculty who are trained to help students progress. Class size averages 14 students, and students are encouraged to practice their newly acquired skills both in and outside of class. The classes meet Mondays-Fridays in the morning and afternoon. NYLC defines a clock hour of instruction as 50 minutes for each full hour of official class time. Students are given both an oral and written placement test and are assigned their level. Many of the textbooks used in this program can be found in university IEP programs. Students at New York Language Center have access to wired and wireless internet. Specialized Academic Track courses are offered as part of the Intensive English Program as well as the Semi-Intensive Program. A certificate of completion of the English as a Second Language Program is given after Level X. Special certificates are issued upon request for students who take fewer hours.
