HIGH INTENSITY LANGUAGE TRAINING (HILT)

ESL Programs

The High Intensity Language Training (HILT) program is designed to provide the most productive language learning experience in the shortest possible time.   This program is not recommended for beginners.  It includes nine hours of private instruction each week day, including lunch with an instructor at a nearby restaurant.

The primary focus of the HILT course is determined by the needs and professional interests of the student. A diagnostic test is conducted prior to the first class and specific goals are developed to meet the student’s desired level of proficiency and needs within the time that is available.  The major objective is to improve the student’s ability to speak and understand the spoken language.  New elements of the language are introduced each day, mistakes are corrected, and the student’s confidence and control in using idiomatic English is enhanced.  The student works with a team of three teachers, each of whom spends three hours a day with the student.  Supplementary activities include discussions of topics relating to the student’s work and interests, specialized vocabulary, video presentations and field trips.

  • Productive language learning in the shortest possible time
