Course description

The English Outdoors Morning class focuses on learning through real-life communication in authentic settings: public places (indoors and outdoors) all over NYC. The classes are taught in small classes of 4-8 students which allows our expert teachers to provide individual feedback and advice on how to improve and further develop language skills.

Classes take place in locations all over the city allowing students to learn English and make the most of New York City. With this interactive classroom experience, students get the added bonus of a hands-on approach to learning about NYC.

HOW IT WORKS:
• All students' levels of English are tested online before arrival via a multiple choice test and a speaking test on Zoom.
• Students get a weekly timetable by email and meet on location daily.
• Teachers and students join a Whatsapp group to stay connected.
• Teachers utilize the coursebook, supplementary materials, and mini-whiteboards to target key grammar and vocabulary points.
• They also use technology in the form of iPads and smartphones to further engage students.
• Students complete homework assignments regularly and are assessed on course language objectives weekly.
• Classes are rich in cultural content and conversation.
• We recommend students have an international phone plan and bring a headset to make the most of the English Outdoors experience

DISCOVERY DAYS:
There are 2 Discovery Days per week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On these unique & fun days, students are still in class but also on the move with their teacher, exploring an interesting part of the city or a museum or both! These days are also a great way to help build student fluency & confidence in English, whilst discovering a new part of the city.

A typical Discovery Day includes a 60-minute sit-down class, followed by a 90-minute walking tour or museum visit, and finally a stop at a cafe/bar or on location for a wrap up session on the day's class.

Examples of Discovery Days:
- American Art
- NY immigration
- 911 Revisited
- Modern Art
- Where America Began
- And many more!

"Great program if you want to learn english and visit nyc at the same time!"

Salomé Lux, student from France

I was in the advanced group, and in one week I learned a few things, it was pretty good to have classes outdoors and not to be in a classroom. We were a group of seven teenagers and that was good, because the teacher could help us all. The afternoons were great, because we were on our own, we could do whatever we wanted (with limits of course), and the activities were the best to do! We discovered so much!
I wasn’t in a host family, I was at a friend’s, so I don’t know how it feels like, but of course, we had work to do. I had two days to prepare a presentation on a random subject about NYC, and I was kind of stressed about it (I’m a stressed person in general), and we had a little bit of presure for the final test (but I understand we weren’t in vacation but here to work).
The locations were always great I loved it !

"Great experience"

Najima Banouh, student from France

The teacher is amazing
I really liked the fact that we were not a lot of students, only 4. We could learn a lot in a small Amount of time
.
The outdoor classes is a really interesting concept. We could discover new places in New York every day. The hours of classes are perfect from 10 to 1.30, free afternoon to discover the city.

The level of classes was not very advanced though. If you are looking for advanced English, this program will probably not suit you
The housing is amazing +++, lovely family, perfect neighborhood. This was a really good point

"Very positve experience and friendly people"

Magdalena Bieniek, student from Poland

I liked the classes size - 2-3 students, very intensive schedule. Teachers were very friendly and helpful, always willing to explain any queries or doubts. Fantastic location of the school. I liked Fridays - the summary of the week + program for the weekend and the coming week.

"Challenging"

Rossella Pappagallo, student from Italy

There was a problem with elementary course because I was the one student. The teachers were expert and patient, but there was not sufficiently coordination between them.

"Wonderful experience"

Jose Grateraux, student from Dominican Republic

I had a wonderful experience in Brooklyn. Maybe is much better if the school have two difference teachers for intensive program.


All day with a single teacher, its too much.

"Good"

Reetta Parviainen, student from Finland

The classes were great (small like they promised), and the location was perfect. I didn't live in the shared student house, but I went there a couple of times and it was not clean.

"I really enjoyed my time in New York City"

Max Degenkolb, student from Austria

I just can recommend the Brooklyn School of Languages to everyone! The school was very nice and all the staff were very friendly, and this also includes the activity leaders and the teachers. The activities were very nice, and I enjoyed the workshops which took place twice a week. The host family was very nice and friendly. There was absolutely nothing I didn’t like.

"A good way to travel on your own"

Nerea Gabellanes, student from Spain

The teacher, the location and the facilities were wonderful but the classes were not my level. I think the grammar taught was too easy but I could learn some new vocabulary. The activities we did with the school were good. The location of the house was good because I could walk to the school but the problem was that my bedroom was next to a very noisy highway and I had to wear earplugs to sleep. Besides, I think the house wasn't clean enough. The owner of the house didn't want us to cook any meat at home because he is vegetarian. I think I should know that beforehand.

Living as part of an English speaking household is simply the best way to truly immerse yourself in the language. You will be practicing the English you have learned every day with other English speakers, which means that you will never stop learning and improving your fluency.

With the Bed & Breakfast option you will not be able to use the kitchen to cook your meals, so you will need to eat out most of the time, or use the fridge and microwave to store/ heat up some food (no extensive cooking allowed).

visa

Visa support

We cannot apply for visas on behalf of students. The school is also not authorized to issue an I-20 to support an F-1 student visa application. If you need a visa, you have to apply for a Visitor Visa (B1/B2) on your own.

Flights and airport transfer

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 New York City based on your budget, schedule and preferences.

Travel insurance

Study abroad worry-free with Language International's health and personal effects insurance coverage. When you book a course with us, you can opt to purchase an international insurance plan that covers not only your health care cost but also loss of your personal belongings. You must book your insurance in advance when you register.

Ask a question

"Can a student enrol on the course with an F1 Student visa – even if I exceeds the 18 hours per week maximum?"

Dyan Test, student from USA

Here is the advice that we can provide to students regarding visas: We always recommend that students come on a proper visa and it’s up to the student to make that decision. While the majority of our students come on an F-1 student visa, some choose otherwise. Unless otherwise instructed by the authorities, at the present time LSI will accept enrolments of individuals in any course of study should they present themselves at the school with a visa other than an F-l. In this case, the individual assumes all responsibility for the maintenance of their legal immigration status in the United States.
Persons with Tourist Visas are allowed to study at the school if their reason for being in the US is tourism and their course is incidental to this.
The student should be aware that if he or she chooses to travel on a tourist visa or visa waiver but tells immigration that he or she is coming here to study, the immigration officer at the Port of Entry (airport) may ask for a student visa which the student does not have. In this case, the student may not be allowed entry to the United States.
