Kursbeskrivning

The ELS Semi-Intensive English Program is designed for students who want to learn the language while also having time to visit local attractions. There are 20 morning lessons per week. Using interactive methods, students will move towards improving their English communication. There are more than 600 universities, colleges and career schools accept completion of an advanced ELS level as meeting the English language requirement for admission.

ELS recommends that students select a duration in 4-week increments (4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, etc.). Durations under 4 weeks (2 or 3 weeks) and in non-4-week increments may be available if space permits. These durations require special request and must be approved by the ELS Center Director.

Live like a local with host families. American families are often very different from how they are portrayed in the media. Each one is unique; staying with an American family is an eye-opening experience into different lifestyles. It is common for families to have children and pets - the more the merrier! Everyone helps out around the house and students are responsible for keeping their bedroom area neat and generally picking up after themselves. The Golden Gate Transit bus line serves the San Rafael area and there are bus stops within a 15-minute walk of the Center. Students may be responsible for transportation to/from the Center.

The average commute time is currently 30 minutes by car, and in some cases, host families are willing to provide transportation, although not required. The Center's homestays are conveniently located close to GGT bus stops, so students have the freedom to travel at their own pace. Almost all homestay families are less than 45-55 minutes by public transportation.

Home types vary, but in general, ELS host families live in safe and affluent neighborhoods near the Center. ELS students will be assigned single rooms, most with shared bathrooms. All homes have heating and wireless internet but may not have air conditioning. ELS students will have access to living areas, the kitchen and laundry areas in the home.

What better way to practice your English and learn about American culture than to live with an American family!

14 meals per week. Homestay families offer a continental breakfast as well as a full dinner everyday. The host parents are encouraged to spend time with their student during mealtimes though it is not always possible in the morning. If the student has any special dietary needs, it is imperative that the student informs us and also has a conversation with their host family to ensure that the need is met.

The San Rafael Student Home is located in a very safe, quiet area. It is within a short, five-minute, free shuttle ride offered to and from the Center; the shuttle also provides free trips, upon students' requests, to the nearby mall and grocery stores.

The San Rafael Student Home offers private (single) and shared (double and triple) bedrooms. Shared bedrooms and bathrooms are usually for two to three students. In the female wing, a single superior room is available (cable-installed television and DVD player located in the room).

Students who choose standard rooms will share a bathroom and living area with other residents. Please know that there is only private bathroom in the double deluxe space (female only). When a bedroom is shared, students are usually paired with another student from a different country, but students can also request to be paired with a friend.

Each room is provided with linens (mattress cover, bed sheets, two blankets, one towel and one pillow) as well as a desk and closet space.

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 $110 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.
