A typical instructor at The Boston Language Institute is a native speaker with years of teaching experience in this country and abroad. Because of the quality of our programs we tend to attract highly motivated students whose level of motivation as a class further enhances the results for each student in the class. The Institute's nearly three decades of successful programs rely on highly experienced instructors, carefully selected texts and teaching materials and the use of the communicative approach which forms an actual performance in a language: speaking, reading, writing and listening. Our approach is based on the premise that each aspect of language learning supports the other. If your goal is to merely speak well, reading is the best way to develop a rich vocabulary and writing will support your memory of words and phrases over time. If your goal is to pass a particular language test, speaking as well as reading and writing will more than help achieve that objective. It's this comprehensive, communicate approach that sets us apart from our competitors and has made companies, government agencies and universities choose The Boston Language Institute when their employees have an important need to perform in a new language.

Students at The Boston Language Institute have in common a particular reason - academic, relationship, business, or travel -- which makes it important to actually speak the language they are studying rather than merely passing tests.
