Instructors

Many of our instructors, with an average of over three years teaching experience, have studied, worked, and taught in other countries, and are therefore able to respond to any individual student’s or organization’s particular needs. Depending on your objectives, typical classroom activities might include role-plays, discussions, and other enjoyable language practice. See more

 

Approach and Methodology

Our lessons will generally follow an integrated skills approach. Classes will focus on functional and notional areas, and then work on the language skills required to achieve competence in those areas. These will consist of a mix of structural, lexical and cultural items, including work on question forms, polite phrases, and appropriate intonation. The instructors will always follow an active learning approach, engaging their students in English.

Testimonials
Many of our students have decided to study at ICC by being introduced to us by one of their friends, colleagues or family members. Many of them continue to study at our schools for years or come back to learn a different language. Please listen to the voices of some of our current students and graduates:

“ICC has been a godsend to our organization's linguists!”
ICC has been a godsend to our organization's linguists and language training programs. ICC could provide, locally, top-notch instructors in a wide variety of languages, which both satisfied complex training requirements and saved us thousands of dollars in travel costs. We were particularly delighted in the professionalism and flexibility of the instructors who tailored the training materials to the needs of each student.
K. Smith, U.S. Navy

“ICC was very accommodating and responded to my specific language needs. Unlike other language schools, ICC had a less ridged approach to language instruction and allowed the student to articulate specific language objectives and modify them as appropriate. This, in conjunction with lesson plans that adapted to specific student strengths and weaknesses, enabled me to advance my speaking and listening abilities far beyond expectations. ICC is particularly appropriate for students who are enthusiastic about language learning and are willing to take a proactive role in their language studies.”
Geoff Goodman, US Department of Defense
