Kursbeskrivning

English is the international language of business. We have therefore developed a special, flexible, 12-module course designed to rapidly improve your business communication skills. Every 12 weeks, we recycle the modules with a fresh syllabus. This means students who wish to study longer and consolidate and expand their knowledge of a particular area, can do so without repeating any material.

The “English for business” course consists of 6 lessons per day. The first 4 lessons (Lessons 1 - 4) are the same as the lessons in our “General 20” course. During these 4 lessons you will rapidly improve your communication skills in a variety of everyday situations. In 2 of these 4 lessons, you will cover the following areas: grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation. In a further 2 of these 4 lessons, you will concentrate on: speaking, listening, reading, writing. You will use a textbook in conjunction with a wide variety of materials and exercises including roleplays, authentic materials, newspapers and magazines.

After the first 4 lessons (lessons 5–6), you will take a range of electives to rapidly improve your business communication skills. In each module, through a combination of written exercises, presentations, dialogues and role-plays in realistic business situations, you will practice and improve your skills in: business vocabulary and “buzz words”, email, memo and letter writing, negotiating, interviewing and telephoning in English.

Module 1: International Trade
Module 2: Developing Leadership Skills & Teambuilding
Module 3: Effective Communication in Presentations
Module 4: Decision Making, Motivation & Delegation, Effective Communication in Meetings
Module 5: Marketing & Advertising
Module 6: E-Commerce, Viral Marketing & Social Media

"It’s good to learn but I think I think if given the opportunity, you should focus on strengthening students' weaknesses."

茗閎 許, student från Taiwan

I like classes and teachers! It’s so great to make friends and can learn some English slangs and phrases. But because I lived in Fremont, it was so far to go there. Furthermore, I received it the day before that the first day of class had to be rescheduled, and the first day was just an exam, which ended. I don't like this kind of operation

"Don't be afraid to dream! Even if it seems that your dream is impossible!:)"

Tatiana Makarevich, student från Ryssland

The location of the school is very convenient. It is easy to find even for those students who flew to Berkeley for the first time.
I really liked the organization of the training, which included grammar, reading, listening and game formats that allow you to successfully assimilate the educational material. Training is conducted by professionals who really know how to work with students from different countries.

As for my wishes, I would advise you not only to study at school, but also to involve students in joint activities, excursions.
After all, it is very important when guys from different countries can spend time and get to know each other in an informal setting. Perhaps the organization of such events is currently limited due to the pandemic.

Another wish is a personal curator who would be able to accompany the newcomer from the day of his arrival in Berkeley.
A beginner feels lonely in a foreign country and often needs advice in the domestic sphere.

I can’t say anything about accommodation, as the school did not confirm the hostel and transfer.

As for the atmosphere at the school, I was really surprised by the friendly attitude. Since I am a citizen of Russia, I expected hostility and hatred. But thank God I saw understanding and sympathy!
And I sincerely appreciate this attitude!

"Great Location and Nice Staffs"

Hideto Fujita, student från Japan

Language Studies International (LSI) is located at very convenient place. Not only BART but also AC Transit buses will take students every places where they want to go after lessons. There are many restaurants near the school, so students can enjoy lunch from wide varieties of dishes , Chinese, Japanese, Turkish, Indian etc.
Another thing I should mention is nice staffs of the school. They are always friendly and kind. Though my English was not good, they tried to understand my points and did their best to help me. Their kind and soft attitude help me not to hesitate to ask them all the time.

The class operations seemed like flexible than solid to class curriculum on a web page. As far as students have questions or interests to class conversations, the teacher tried to teach English along to student's interests than curriculum. I took 4 weeks Business English course in June. The course had morning grammar classes and afternoon business English classes. The class size was seemed small than other months and i could have more chances to speak out my English. Especially afternoon class were changed to free discussion class than business English, the teacher paid attention to teach English to express student's own thought effectively. That was nice for me.

"It was a really good experience"

Pamela Flores Mora, student från Chile

It was a really good experience for me.

First, the classes and teachers were great. I had two different teachers that always were trying to make the lesson interesting so you could learn more and they were open to answer questions and help.

Second, people from LSI are really helpful and friendly. They make after school activities everyday that helps to get to know different places, others students outside de classroom and make friends.

And finally, even thougth LSI´s facility were nothing fancy, it was ok. It was clean and it is located about a block from the metro station and not even one from YMCA.

Visumsupport

Vi kan inte ansöka om visum för studenter. Dock kan skolan försörja dig med all dokumentation du behöver för att stödja din visumansökan.

Om du studerar på heltid i mer än 18 timmar per vecka i USA, så kommer du att få en I-20, som du måste överlämna till den amerikanska ambassaden tillsammans med din F-1 studentvisumsansökan. Din I-20 har ett spårningsnummer (SEVIS). Studenter som önskar ansöka ett studentvisum måste betala SEVIS-avgiften på internet innan det är dags att gå till amerikanska ambassaden eller konslutatet för en visumsintervju.

Din I-20 kommer att skickas till din hemadress via vanlig post utan kostnad. Om du önskar att få ditt pappersarbete via expressbrev, kommer du att bli debiterad $95 när du registrerar dig.

Var vänlig notera att enlight amerikansk lag kan en I-20 bara utfärdas till studenter som planerar att studera engelska på heltid. Amerikansk lag godkänner inte studenter som studerar på halvtid med ett F-1 studentvisum. Om du studerar mindre än 18 timmar per vecka, så måste du ansöka om ett besöksvisum (B1/B2) på egen hand.

Läs mer om hur man får ett amerikanskt studentvisum »

Flyg och flygplatstransfer

Please note that we do not book flights for our students. If you are researching airfare costs, we recommend using Kayak.com, a search engine that lets you compare flight options from your home country to Berkeley based on your budget, schedule and preferences.

Reseförsäkring

Studera utomlands bekymmersfritt med Language Internationals försäkringstäckning för hälsa och personliga ägodelar. När du bokat en kurs hos oss, så kan du välja att köpa en internationell försäkringsplan som inte bara täcker sjukvårdskostnader, men också förlust av dina personliga tillhörligheter. Du måste boka din försäkring i förtid när du registrerar dig.
