One of the ways to go to the USA and go for a long time (from 1 month to 1 year) is to go to language courses. This article will focus on just that.

Language courses in America involve learning English 5 days a week, getting homework, going to classes will have to go to school. You can either live in a family - it's cheaper, or rent an apartment (apartment) - this, as you know, is more expensive. The advantage here is that in this mode, in a year you will learn the language very well. Speaking very well, I mean that you definitely won’t learn it so well in a year in your country (not a native speaker) - for many factors, one of the main ones I described in previous posts (Why is English quickly learned in a native country? ).

If you are on a study program, you will receive an F1 non-immigrant visa. You can also call it a student visa.

What is good about this program in general? As I see it, it is relatively easy to get a visa, as you clearly show that you have money for education and money for living in the States. For consuls, this is important. In addition, you will have about half a day free every day - after training. And if you choose a school somewhere in Los Angeles or Miami, then you can spend this time on the beach (if, of course, it is within reasonable limits from your housing and school), and it’s just warmer there and better than in many cities Russia. Although you may or may not agree with me on this issue. I write like this because I live near Moscow and summer happens here 1-1.5 months a year 🙂 . And I love it when it's warm, preferably 12 months. in a year 🙂 . So summing up, we can say that you arrange a good vacation for yourself in warmer climes and combine it with learning the language.

Another plus, I would take out that during the training you will become well acquainted with American culture and traditions.

I will try to highlight the groups of people who will have the highest priority in going to the USA for English courses. Although here you still need to build on your goals.

1. Pupils. Children (or no longer children 🙂) who have completed 11th grade may well go first to learn English for a year. Then go to an American university.

2. Those who needs to qualitatively and quickly improve their knowledge of the language and you can completely devote to this, say 6 months - during this time you will definitely learn more than you would learn in courses in your country.

3. Those who just wants to go to America in order to see what kind of country it is, and to go for a long time and legally. Who has more money than they need for Work&Travel. At the same time, do not have unnecessary questions from the customs officer. Will explain. If you go simply on a tourist / guest visa, then at an interview at the embassy you will be asked: how long are you going and why. It is logical that you can say for a month, well, for 2 months, just relax and spend cash 🙂 . You will show a fat certificate from work, show a fat bank account and most likely they will believe you. When you arrive in the US, you will be asked - how long are you in the States, you will say for 1 month. Okay, let's hope you get a 6-month stamp, because that's how much everyone gets. You will successfully stay for 6 legal months and return, unless you want to become an illegal of course. And then, when you want again, questions may already arise, either at customs or with the consul, if you go through the interview again. He will ask, why did you tell us last time that you will stay for 1 month, and stayed for 6? Yes, it can be explained. But on the other hand, a situation may arise when you are denied a visa.

Here, in general, I think - those who have money for life and rest in 6 months in the USA already know how they feel better. Therefore, this paragraph 3 - to summarize as follows: regarding cheap, legal and for a long time to come to the USA.

4. Under this paragraph, those who wants for a long time and legally, but no longer passes by age according to Work&Travel. That is, you are already over 26 years old, if I am not mistaken, it is from this age that you can no longer come to W&T. Language courses for them is the most topic! It's cheaper than going to university. I think, having gone to study for a year, you will at least learn the language very well. Plus, if you have a head and a desire to stay, during this time you will find an employer who can then become your sponsor to change your visa from study to work. For the most advanced, you can understand how to do business here and earn money yourself. In general, this method opens up many possibilities. As a last resort, you can extend this visa for another year, the main thing is that the money is 😉 .

And now, let's just move on to how much English courses in the USA cost.

I've dealt with this issue enough. I looked at many sites. Rates "as a whole for the hospital" are about the same. Somewhere a little more, somewhere less. Therefore, I will highlight only one site, it was recommended to me by one person who is well versed in this topic. I will also give addresses of other sites that I found through a search engine. Here, in general, you can do it very simply, drive it into Yandex: US language courses and study all sites for low prices.

They offer language training not only in the USA. Therefore, if another country is interesting, as they say - Welcome!

We go to the page - Teaching English in the USA. Here you can choose the city and which courses you like best.

• Summer English courses
• Intensive English courses
• General English courses
• Intensive and general academic year and semester courses
• Business English courses
• TOEFL® Preparation and Academic English Courses
• Preparation for SAT, GRE and GMAT exams

Now we will be interested in the money question. I will charge for general academic year. It's 32 weeks.

Chicago:
Los Angeles: 8500 dollars. Homestay for one meal 14 times a week: $7,000 (32+ weeks).
New York: 8900 dollars. Homestay for one meal 14 times a week: $8600 (32+ weeks).
Boston: 8500 dollars. Homestay for one meal 14 times a week: $7,700 (32+ weeks).
Miami: 8500 dollars. Homestay for one meal 14 times a week: $8300 (32+ weeks).

American English can without a shadow of a doubt be called one of the most popular in the modern world, so having mastered the language, you can easily find a place for yourself in any English-speaking country.

English courses in the USA can also be an excellent preparation for entering an American university, especially for this we offer Pathway programs.
There are a lot of language schools in the USA. You can find a suitable one in almost any state. Therefore, you can choose where you will study English: in crowded New York, windy Chicago, on the sun-drenched shores of Miami, or, for example, in calm and balanced Washington. Most language schools operating in the US are networked institutions. That is, they work according to the same standards and maintain the same good level of training, regardless of where they are located.

All language courses in the USA can be divided into three groups:

1. Main course - General English (of varying degrees of intensity). These are classes aimed at learning the English language in general. Such training is suitable for those who plan to live, study and / or work in an English-speaking country in the future. The course can be conducted in a standard mode or intensive - for those who want to have time to learn more in a relatively short time.

2. Preparation for IELTS, TOEFL, Cambridge exams. The main goal of training is to “train” you to pass exams. The program is always optimized for the format of the exam; in the classroom, students solve typical tests that are encountered in these exams. For the convenience of students, most schools also offer to take the exam itself at the end of the preparatory course.

3. Specialized courses. it can be business English, or, for example, specific vocabulary related to some subject area (chemistry, biology, IT industry, and so on). Such programs will be useful for those who want to run their own business or easily get a job in their specialty in an English-speaking country.

Accommodation options offered to students can also be different: living in an American family, in a studio, residence, apartment or hotel room. Naturally, if you want to immerse yourself in the language environment as much as possible, it is advisable to find a school that offers accommodation in American families. Communication in English not only during classes or walks around the city, but also at home allows you to achieve even greater success in mastering it.

Usually, students are offered partial board meals (breakfast and lunch or breakfast only), as well as all modern amenities: Wi-Fi Internet access, kitchen area, household appliances, laundry, computer access, and the like.

The duration of the program can be from one to several weeks. The standard intensity course involves 20-30 lessons lasting 40-50 minutes. Depending on the language school, these parameters may vary.

Can I work while studying on an F1 visa?

Students in the US on an F-1 visa must first attend a course of study and may only work on campus for a maximum of 20 hours per week. There are usually very few such vacancies. In rare cases, after nine months of study, you may be allowed to work off campus if you justify sudden financial difficulties.

How to go to English courses in the USA

Step 1. Course selection

In order to select courses - decide on the expected dates of the trip and the timing of the courses, send us an application, and we will contact you! We will help you choose the right course of study and accommodation option. It is advisable to submit an application 1.5-2 months before the desired start date of training.

Step 2. Payment

You pay the tuition fees for English courses. The school then sends us the I-20 form required for the F1 student visa.

Step 3. Applying for a US visa

After receiving the I-20 form, you pay the SEVIS fee, we help you fill out the US visa application form and prepare the necessary package of documents, pay the $160 consular fee and have an interview at the US consulate.

Step 4. Departure to the USA

Having successfully obtained an F1 visa, we help you with booking tickets and departure.

How much is

The cost of English courses in the USA is from $90 to $500 per week. This variation in prices is due to the fact that the price of education depends on the type and intensity of the course, its duration, as well as the city and the school itself.

In addition to the cost of training, there are additional payments:

• school fee for course and accommodation bookings;
• meeting at the airport;
• training materials visa and medical insurance;

You can choose one of the most suitable accommodation options that the school offers - or choose it yourself. You should expect a minimum of $250 per week, the upper limit depends on your requests. An air ticket to New York costs from $450 (a flight to the west coast will cost more). Also from the costs you have to pay the SEVIS fee of $200 and the consular fee for a US visa of $160.

Almost all schools periodically offer promotional prices for their services (for certain courses of a certain duration, involving training on specific dates). If it doesn’t matter to you exactly when you will go to the USA, you can take your time with applying for the program and wait until one of the schools decides to make a discount on education.

Learning English in the US is as popular as in England, because in the states this language is also the state language. English in the USA is the language of youth, modern advanced computer technology, the language of the Internet. Therefore, a large number of young people are looking for ways to go to college in the United States in order to gain quality knowledge, broaden their horizons and make new acquaintances with young people from America and other countries of the world.

Applicants entering the United States for higher education should understand that there are over 3,500 universities and colleges in this country. In the American education system, there is no particular difference between the concepts of "university" and "college", since these words mean the same thing - a higher educational institution. And there, and there you can get higher education: bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees.

These concepts differ only in that the university consists of several colleges, it is larger in size and with a large number of students. So, for example, engineering, business, medical colleges, etc. are part of Harvard University. Therefore, before entering any university in the USA, ask which colleges are included in it.

There are two types of colleges in America:

• with training for two years (junior or community college);
• with four years of study.

The two-year college is mostly home-based students with some of the expenses covered by the local government, so junior college is relatively cheap for local students. For visitors from other cities or countries, studying is a little more expensive, but also acceptable. To enter such a university, you only need to pass the TOEFL.

After graduating from such an educational institution, the graduate becomes the owner of a diploma of secondary specialized education (associate degree), and gets the opportunity to work, for example, as a secretary, mechanic, kindergarten teacher, orderly or nurse.

As a rule, after graduating from community college, students immediately enter the third year of a four-year college, after which they receive a bachelor's degree. At the same time, all his grades and credits earned during his studies at a two-year college also count. It turns out that junior college is a preparatory stage for more serious training.

The American education system also distinguishes between "small" and "medium" colleges. If the university has no more than 1,500 students, then it is classified as a small college, and if the university has from 1,500 to 5,000 students, then it is classified as a medium university. For example, there are only 880 students in private Pitzer College, approximately 1,300 people study at Reed College - these are small colleges. About 2,200 students study at Wittenberg University, and more than 4,000 at Shepherd College, so these universities are classified as medium.

It is in small and medium-sized universities that, most often, there are funding programs for foreign applicants!!!

It is interesting that in the most tolerant country in the world there are specialized educational institutions organized according to religious and gender principles. For example, the University of Dallas and the University of Notre Dame are Catholic-only universities, while Wabash College and Deep Springs College are male-only.

The learning process at every US university is based on a credit system, that is, each subject from the study program "costs" a certain number of credits. Having mastered this subject and having successfully passed the test or exam, the student receives these credits. The student's task is to earn approximately sixty credits in two years of study in order to transfer to the third year of university.

At the same time, all subjects are divided into profile and general education, the latter, in turn, can be both compulsory and free for visiting and passing. The assessment of study results is built in such a way that it reflects the activity of the student throughout the semester, that is, it will not turn out to be idle all semester, but to start studying urgently for the exam.

The final grade consists of several indicators: 10% is homework, 40% is the final exam, and 50% is the sum of the results of intermediate tests and control works.

Evaluation takes place on a four-point scale:

• A (4 points, 90-100%, excellent)
• B (3 points, 80-90%, good)
• C (2 points, 70-80%, satisfactory)
• D (1 point, 60-70%, unsatisfactory).

On the same scale, the average score of the diploma is calculated.

In an educational institution there can be both daytime and evening forms of education. The full-time department is taught in semesters: the 1st semester begins at the end of August and lasts until the end of December, and the 2nd semester lasts from January to May. In the evening department, the academic year is divided into trimesters, and without a break. For example, having finished the autumn term on November 19, on November 20, students immediately switch to the winter term.

How much does it cost to study at an American college?

The cost of acquiring higher education in US colleges is quite high. It is difficult to name a specific amount, since the price largely depends on the type of university, its prestige, location, chosen specialty, etc. The most expensive areas are medical and technical specialties.

Here is the approximate cost of studying in American educational institutions:

1. The cheapest universities are two-year colleges, where you will have to pay from $ 7,000 / year for your studies.
2. Public four-year colleges have a minimum tuition fee of $10,000/year.
3. Studying at private US universities will cost even more - $ 15,000 / year (University of Berkeley) or $ 30,000 / year (Stanford or Harvard).

At the same time, the indicated amount does not include expenses for accommodation, meals, payment for educational materials, visiting the gym, etc.

• accommodation (in a hostel) and meals - about $ 11,000;
• textbooks — $1,300;
• insurance — $1,500;
• other expenses — $2,500.

Together with all other expenses, the minimum fee for a year of US college education will be from $22,000.

For example, Ukrainian student Georgy Solodko was able to enter 10 American universities for free education at once and is now studying in the same course with Obama's daughter at Harvard.

So, an applicant from Russia who wants to become a student of an American university can count on grants provided by the US or Russian government, receive a scholarship for study, etc. However, keep in mind that serious requirements are put forward for foreigners entering American educational institutions .

First of all, to study at American colleges and universities, you need to speak English at a good level. Required:

• fluent communication skills on a variety of topics;
• ability to read and write in English;
• ability to perceive fluent English speech by ear.

Therefore, if at least one of these requirements is lame for you, we advise you to take vacation courses, during which you will have the opportunity to raise your knowledge to the desired level. And you can confirm your knowledge by successfully passing the entrance exams.

To enter a college in the United States of America, you must pass:

1. TOEFL/IELTS is a language proficiency test. The delivery of these tests is carried out approximately 2-3 times a year in special certified centers. To enter college, you need to pass the exam for 74+ / 5.5-6.0 or enroll in a preparatory course at an educational institution, where you need to study for one year.
2. SAT I / GRE General (for bachelor / master) - a standard exam for general knowledge.
3. SAT II / GRE Subject (for bachelor / master) - an exam for subject knowledge and skills, compiled for each specialty separately.
4. ACT - testing to determine the level of preparation of applicants in the subjects included in the course of study.

If you are sure that you meet these requirements, then you can safely prepare documents for applying for study at US universities.

Algorithm for becoming an American student

Before applying to one or another American college, study several educational institutions at once. Check what are the requirements for incoming foreigners, how much does it cost to study, do they have a financial aid program for foreign students, and only then proceed to the final choice of a university.

You can apply to several selected colleges at once, but keep in mind that you also need to pay for this (about $ 25).

Having selected one or more educational institutions, you need to start preparing documents. As a rule, the academic year in America begins at the end of August, and you need to start preparing for admission a year and a half in advance.

First of all, make a request that the universities of your choice send information to your e-mail about the educational programs of their college, the conditions for admission, accommodation, its location, achievements and traditions.

As a rule, along with the presentation, the university sends an application form, which must be filled out by all applicants. The questionnaire also contains 1-3 thematic questions to which you need to give a detailed answer in the form of an essay. For example, "My biggest achievement in life" or "Why I want to go to this college." Based on personal data, the selection committee will draw conclusions about the qualities, skills and abilities of your personality.

Already at this stage, register for the TOEFL and SAT tests and start preparing for these tests.

In autumn, in October-November, make a copy of the certificate of secondary education, translate the document into English and certify it with a notary.

Ask the school principal and class teacher, as well as an English teacher or special. subject to write letters of recommendation.

List of documents for admission to a US college:

1. Questionnaires (Application Forms). Carefully read all the points of the questionnaire and the instructions for filling it out. You also need to answer questions in printed form, including an essay. When filling in the fields of passport data, indicate the same data as in the foreign. passport. Attach all required documents.
2. Certified copies of the certificate or diploma in Russian. Copies must be certified in the office, as well as with the leaders of your educational institution.
3. Certified translation of the certificate or diploma into English.
4. Certified copies of transcripts in English and Russian if you graduated from a college or university in Russia. Transcript of Academic Records is a document that includes a list of courses, indicating the number of hours for each semester and grades for exams, tests, term papers. It is better to translate "an extract from the record book."
5. The results of the TOEFL, SAT, GRE, etc. exams. If you have not yet passed the test or passed it recently and still do not know the result, then write the date of the examination.
6. Letters of Recommendation. Each letter must be signed. If the recommendation is written in Russian, then you need to make a translation and officially certify it with a notary.
7. Introductory essay (Statement of Purpose). Any American university will require the applicant to write this work, which will allow the selection committee to make the final decision about enrolling you in college. Therefore, you need to be as responsible as possible when writing an introductory essay and tell how long ago you chose the specialty that interested you, what are your motives for entering, why you chose this particular program, how acquiring the knowledge gained at the university will help you implement your plans for the future, etc. e. Be sure to tell us about your academic background, interests, personal qualities and achievements.
8. Confirmation of financial capabilities (Financial Statement). Some US colleges require applicants to provide real proof of financial ability. These can be a bank statement on the state of the account, a letter from your parents' employer with a stamp, a certificate confirming participation in a program that will cover the cost of training. Here you can ask the university for financial assistance.
9. Fee for reviewing documents (special fee from $10 to $150).

So, all documents are collected, paid for and sent. Do it before the end of the year. Between January and April, try to find out if they reached the addressee. As a rule, in April-May, educational institutions already send their answer. If you received a positive response from several universities at once, then within a few days make your final choice in the direction of one of them, and immediately send notifications to the rest that you are rejecting their proposals.

Tell the selected college that you agree with their proposal and ask for more information. During the summer, you will need to contact the college's international advisor. The advisor will tell you what to do next.

To obtain a visa, the university will send you an I-20 form, which you will need to apply to the US Embassy and undergo a visa consultation and pre-departure briefing at the educational center. If everything goes well, then in August you will sit down at a college desk and become an American student.

Advice! When filling out documents, clearly and accurately fulfill all the requirements, adding everything you need and not adding anything superfluous, since the American admissions committee carefully monitors "discipline". If you need to answer a question within 10 lines, then write exactly that much, because if the volume exceeds the required one, then no one will read the rest.

How to choose language courses in the USA?

Until recently, US language schools were not accessible to the majority of the Russian-speaking population due to the huge prices for flights, visas and the course itself. However, today English language courses in the United States have become much cheaper and more accessible for Russian citizens due to the active development of relations between these countries and the relaxation of the visa regime. Now all you need is a desire and a few thousand dollars.

English courses in the USA can be taught to both children from 10 years old and adults. Learning a language involves a clear prioritization, based on what results you want to achieve as a result of learning: learn to speak, improve your pronunciation, enter an American college or institute, complete an internship and find a well-paid job in the United States, etc.

Therefore, when choosing a language course, pay attention to such important points:

• if you really want to learn English, then it is better to study in those cities and language centers where there are as few compatriots as possible;
• learning a language in the States is an expensive service, so when choosing a course, be guided by the cost of not only the flight, but also the price and duration of the program itself;
• choose courses in those regions and cities where you will feel most comfortable. Fortunately, there are language centers in almost every state;
• studying in the USA allows you to choose training programs of various thematic focus, so choose a specific topic so that the material is learned more effectively.

However, there are serious requirements for foreigners. First of all, you need to speak English at a good level. Therefore, it is worth tightening up your speech skills if they are not good enough.

Therefore, if at least one of these requirements is lame for you, I advise you to take vacation courses, during which you will have the opportunity to raise your knowledge to the desired level. And you can confirm your knowledge by successfully passing the entrance exams.

For example, the language schools Home Language International and Rennert offer training programs for children from 5 years old to prepare for school. The opportunity to stay in the family is provided not only for the child, but also for the accompanying person. After successfully passing the test, training certificates are issued, which are valid in all English-speaking educational institutions around the world.

And schools such as Bell Language School, Language Studies International, Education First and other educational institutions offer students and adult students to take standard, professional, business, intensive and examination English courses. Postgraduate students and specialists are trained in special programs, for example, "Language + Management". Thus, there is an opportunity to gain additional professional skills.

How is English taught in courses in the USA?

To make English learning as effective and productive as possible, before the start of the educational program, students undergo written and oral testing, which determines the initial level of language proficiency. According to the results of this testing, students are divided into appropriate groups. The number of students in the class, the duration and number of classes are provided by the characteristics of the course you choose.

For children, parents most often choose summer vacation programs, while adults themselves can be trained in any season. All language courses according to the purpose of their passage can be divided into the following areas:

• Preparation for testing GMAT, TOEFL
• 12 steps to improve language proficiency

Each of these programs can be taught with varying degrees of intensity - from 20 to 30 lessons per week. In the US, intensive courses are more popular - 25 lessons per week. Classes begin on Monday, every day there are 5 lectures with a lunch break. As a result, students are completely immersed in the English-speaking environment and successfully overcome the language barrier.

During the classes, students develop communication skills, constantly engaging in conversations with the teacher and other students, discussing and analyzing a variety of everyday situations. Plus, students perform many tasks and exercises, both in groups and on their own, expanding their grammatical knowledge of English, working out tolerable pronunciation and perception of someone else's speech.

As a rule, the language program includes taking notes, writing essays and essays, participating in seminars, working with scientific literature in the library and at the computer, listening to lectures. During the training, students get acquainted with samples of exam tests, performing similar tasks, passing several intermediate tests to determine progress and identify gaps in knowledge.

The cost of studying English in the USA

Most often, the cost of the program includes the course itself, and transfer, accommodation, meals, visa, insurance premiums. But if you have other options, then you can discuss the details with the host. Airfare is not included in this amount. With the help of a convenient table, you can see the prices for courses, depending on their direction and duration:

Due to the fact that the American education system provides for the adaptation of training programs to the peculiarities of the speech system of foreign students, even two-week courses in the States that cost $1,300 bring tangible results. And you choose the period that you like and according to financial capabilities, and remember that the longer the better. Read also the article
