LSI English level objectives

At Language Systems International we set high standards for developing students' English skills in different areas of their personal and professional life. Below are the level objectives we set forth for our students:

Level 1

The Level 1 ESL course is designed to introduce and develop fundamental English skills. The focus of this course is on the basic language and functions required to effectively communicate in the English-speaking world.

Level 2

The level 2 course continues to introduce and expand on the fundamentals of English. Students are taught to build on basic skills through communicative exercises and extension activities. The material provided is intended to encourage students to express practical ideas beyond survival English.

Level 3

The level 3 course emphasizes the expansion and development of basic conversational functions, essential grammatical structures, and simple reading skills, including a broader range of vocabulary items.

Level 4

The level 4 course focuses on the combination of basic language skills acquired at the lower levels with more sophisticated language functions, structures, and comprehension skills. The goal is to facilitate the transition from practical language skills to more involved structures including broader cultural topics, complex grammar, and academically oriented vocabulary.

Level 5

The level 5 course focuses on enhancing open-ended communication skills, accurately using complex grammatical structures, and dealing with a greater variety of reading passages. The main goal is the expansion and development of the students' authentic language capabilities.

Level 6

The level 6 course focuses on expanding a variety of presentation skills, developing formal written and oral communication, and enhancing analytical and critical thinking skills. The main goal is to refine the skills that students have already acquired in the lower levels and expand on more sophisticated skills needed for high-level social and academic interaction.

Level 7

The level 7 course focuses on refining fluency and critical thinking skills. The main goal is to further develop and enhance the learners' authentic language capabilities through a variety of high-level, student-centered activities incorporating advanced conversation, academic essay writing, and analytical reading skills.
