The main emphases of the Practical ESL program are communication and functional English for daily life. Practical ESL programs begin weekly year round. The minimum class size is 6, the average is 8 and the maximum is 12. IGK guarantees a very personalized, fast paced and dynamic approach to language learning with an innovative digital curriculum (www.off2class.com). Headway and Northstar are used as supplements. The majority of students gain fluency in 24 weeks or less depending on their entry level. Students can enroll in from 1 to 24 weeks. At IGK students receive full 60 minute lessons. This is an important fact to check when comparing schools as many schools advertise the number of ‘lessons’ offered per week (which could range anywhere from 30-60 minutes) and not the number of actual in class hours.
