Two-Month Intensive Training helps ESL
teachers and instructors upgrade their skills and expand their knowledge of
American Methodologies of Teaching Business English as a Second Language
(ESL) -- Case Study Method with emphasis on developing business and
professional communication skills.
The program targets ESL teachers who teach
Business English to adult learners who wish to improve their English
communication skills and listening comprehension due to conducting business,
communicating with international professionals, advancing in career or
pursuing BA/MBA degrees and wishing to use English for professional
purposes. The program invites entry- and mid-level ESL teachers from
business schools and other technical institutes and universities where
Business English is taught.
During workshops at ICLS, the Case Study
Method will introduce various learning methods and teaching techniques
through a series of case study training scenarios. Program participants will
participate in group discussions and team projects. The case study materials
are chosen from current business magazines, newspapers, and special Business
ESL teaching textbooks.
This program includes intensive training
workshops for 30-35 hours, five days a week. The ESL staff will provide
mentoring and counseling to program participants on a regular basis. IEBT/ICLS
will monitor and evaluate training progress and discuss training outcomes
with program participants and ESL staff.
ENROLLMENT
Applications are accepted on a continual, year-round basis. Due to strict visa regulations, we
strongly encourage early submission of applications.
Those who
enroll in Two-Month Professional Training are required to submit applications two months prior to
the start of the training workshops at ICLS. IEBT will need a maximum of one-month to review and
process the application information for issuing DS-2019 Form and to develop a customized training
plan, and overall, to prepare a J-1 visa application package per applicant. The application
packages will be sent to applicants as soon as they are complete.
Obtaining a J-1 Visa
New US
Visa regulations require a rigorous review of documents that are required before ICLS can issue
the DS-2019 form. This includes reviewing the visa application, identifying the host
company placement, developing the training plan, interviewing the applicant, reviewing the
financial support documents and medical insurance, as well obtaining sufficient evidence of the
applicant’s intention to return to home country upon completion of the program. To learn
about the specifics of the J-1 visa application review, please visit the US Embassy located in
your home country. We advise you to sign up early for an interview prior to receiving a J-1
application package. Due to many applications, US Embassies set up an interview date for a
J-1 visa applicant. We also suggest you check with the US Embassy on a regular basis to
monitor any changes in scheduling an interview or visa processing. Please count on at least
one month to obtain an appointment for the interview. Processing of J-1 visa applications may
vary at each US Embassy/Consulate in your home country.
