HIGH INTENSITY LANGUAGE TRAINING (HILT)

The High Intensity Language Training (HILT) is offered in most spoken languages. The 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 day throughout the week, 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. Specialized language components for business and professional persons can be developed. 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 language is enhanced. The student works with a team of 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.
