Learn English & live in your private teacher's home around Bradford with Home Language International!
Home Language International (HLI) is a family-run business offering language courses in more than 20 languages in over 30 countries worldwide, including English lessons at an experienced private teacher's home in UK. More than 5,000 students take advantage of our services every year. Ian Josephs, Danielle Josephs, their 5 adult children and an expert team of dedicated staff all put in very long hours for HLI.
You stay in an experienced teacher's family home, have one-to-one English lessons and then continue to use the language during the rest of your stay in Bradford. Because you are the only student, you are guaranteed individual attention. The lessons are completely designed for you, so the teacher will focus exactly on what you need. Mealtime conversation, television and social contacts are all in English.
All of our teachers in UK have a university degree (or equivalent) and/or a recognised teaching certificate. All teachers have been visited by one of our local organisers. Their qualifications have been checked and their homes throughly inspected. During your stay in Bradford, a local organiser will monitor your progress and make sure your experience is both happy and successful.
Home Language International (HLI) is accredited by the Accreditation Body for Language Services (ABLS), Association of Language Travel Organisations (ALTO), and UNOSEL.

YOUR LEARNING EXPERIENCE AT YORKSHIRE COLLEGE:
SMALL GROUPS
We keep classes small so that your teacher can focus on you. We accept a maximum of 10 students in each class.
COURSE AIMS
We help you become a more confident English language user with a special focus on functional skills and culture. Of course, you will always work on all four basic language skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing.
COURSEBOOK
We use a range of engaging coursebooks such as Cambridge Empower, Speak Out, English File and Language Hub which help you develop all your English language skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing.
All our coursebooks include extensive online practice for further practice outside the classroom.
E-LEARNING
With Cambridge Empower and Pearson Speak Out series, there is extensive online practice for further practice outside classroom.
TESTS
You will take a placement test on your first day in the school, so that we can put you into a group that fits your level of English. After that, you will do progress tests every week, so we can see how much you improve.
TUTORIALS
Your teacher will meet you at least once a month for a one-to-one discussion on how you are progressing, and what else you could do to develop your English skills.
CERTIFICATE of Attendance
When you finish your English language course, you will receive a certificate of your studies with us, showing what course you followed. You will also receive an academic report upon request. All our courses are available for students aged 16 years or above.
