- Study Options
Intensive English (Full-time program)
- Overview
- At OHLA, they view the mastery of the English language as a continuous and progressive approach rather than step-by-step exercise. When you learn a new language, you are gradually improving our knowledge of that language, the same way you are constantly learning and refining our own native language.
They truly believe that languages are not meant to be memorized but rather they are meant to be used and practiced consistently on a daily basis. In order to obtain the mastery of the English language in a shorter amount of time, OHLA's teachers place emphasis on having students understand the messages and vocabulary accurately in the foreign language.
OHLA's core ESL program covers fluency and comprehension: listening, word structure, word usage, reading, vocabulary, writing and speaking.
Electives:
• Strategic Reading
• Mastering English Sounds
• Clarity & Confidence
• Applying Grammar Rules
Duration:
• Each level is 10 weeks. (2024 Session Start Dates: 1/8, 3/18, 5/28, 8/5, and 10/14)
•The minimum length required for Intensive Program is 10 weeks (Students are required to obtain an F-1 visa.)

绝对会有一番不同的难忘体验。大家好，我是Yao，一名正在OHLA 迈阿密校区学习英文的中国学生。
我在这里学习已经有差不多半年了，我非常喜欢这里的学习气氛，因为这里的老师让我感受到学习一门外语一点都不枯燥。在我没有接触OHLA之前我不太喜欢学习英文，除了一贯的死记硬背单词以外我也很难开口用英文去跟其他人沟通，但是通过在OHLA的学习，我现在可以非常自然地用英文表达自己的想法，虽然没有到母语流利的程度，但是我对自己用英文表达的自信心得到很大的提高。我非常感谢这里的老师，他们的通过非常轻松易了解的教学方式，让学习英文语法，生词都变得非常有趣。
其次，我感受到OHLA不仅仅是让我学习英文的地方，也是让我更多了解到美国文化的地方，这里有很多有意义的活动，比例每周一次的OHLA LIFE可以随心让大家交流。我在这里学习的英文的同时也增涨了很多其他方面的知识。我强烈推荐大家可以来感受一下这所英文学校的教学方式，绝对会有一番不同的难忘体验。
