• More Details
  • Housing
  • The school provides students with the opportunity to live in on-campus dormitories, off-campus residences, or enjoy a homestay experience. Students living on-campus will be close to classes, campus activities and other students. For students who prefer a more independent lifestyle, off-campus residences provide more privacy and offer opportunities to interact with people in the community outside the campus environment. The school also arranges homestays for those students who want to experience local culture first-hand as a member of a family and practice their conversational English. Students are encouraged to make their housing arrangements as early as possible due to the limited amount of space available. Private off-campus apartments are also available; however students must make their own arrangements. For more information, use the Contact Address to ask the school directly.
  • Surrounding Area
  • TLC - Edmond sits on the lovely University of Central Oklahoma campus in the heart of the safe, friendly and affluent suburban city of Edmond, Oklahoma. Home to an estimated 72,000 residents, Edmond is the second-fastest growing city in the State and is considered by many to be the “Crown Jewel” of Oklahoma. With extensive public art installations scattered throughout the city and its downtown area, Edmond is a charming community to explore and appreciate its artistic and cultural uniqueness. The area is also well-known for nearby Arcadia Lake, a picturesque location for outdoor enthusiasts to go fishing year-round, boating and water skiing, use the surrounding trails to go hiking, horseback riding or mountain biking, and go camping in the great outdoors. When it comes time to get a healthy dose of city life, Oklahoma City is located a mere 15 minutes from downtown Edmond. As the State Capitol and home to half a million people, Oklahoma City and its “western” heritage and spirit is alive and well with many Oklahomans likely to be wearing boots and a cowboy hat in the city streets. With such popular local attractions as being the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum (a unique national memorial to the American cowboy), the Remington Park Race Track, Frontier City Theme Park, and the Red Earth Indian Center, the essence of Oklahoma City is strongly rooted in its strong ties with its historic western heritage. Sports enthusiasts have plenty of opportunities to play on some of the nation’s best golf courses and tennis facilities while sports fans can watch live games year-round by taking in a Oklahoma City Thunder game.

• Study Options

  • Intensive English

  • Overview
  • The Intensive English is offered year-round with sessions beginning every four weeks. Students enrolled in the program meet Monday through Thursday and receive a minimum of 25 hours of classroom instruction per week. This program is ideal for students who want to achieve maximum progress in their English skills in order to gain admission to an American college or university, enhance their professional credentials or simply enjoy learning a new language.
    
    The program is offered at 9 levels of instruction from Beginner to Advanced. Upon their arrival at the school, students are given a placement test to determine the level best-suited to their ability. At the end of each 4-Week session, students receive a written Final Grade Report from their instructors that evaluates their speaking ability, class performance, tests and homework assignments.
    
    The rigorous curriculum at the Beginning level is designed to develop each student’s fundamental language skills of listening, speaking and writing. Students at the Intermediate level learn more advanced grammar structures and vocabulary, gain the skills necessary to express themselves orally and in writing, and to read and understand technical materials. Students who complete the Advanced levels should be able to function comfortably in any English-speaking environment, understand speakers in a variety of settings, and use written and spoken materials to write academic/professional reports. Elective courses are also part of the curriculum for Intermediate- and Advanced-level students to focus on their English studies while building their core language skills. Students may choose to study elective topics such as: Vocabulary, Idioms and Slang, Conversation, Pronunciation, American Culture Through Films, Current Events, American History and Government, and Business English. Academic placement counseling is available free-of-charge for those students who want to attend an American college or university after completing their studies at TLC. Many colleges and universities waive the TOEFL requirement for TLC graduates.
    
    Classroom sizes average 10 students per class. Every effort is made to keep classes at an ideal size for effective English language instruction.
