• 學校詳情
  • 住處
  • 學生就讀期間可以選擇寄宿家庭或校外公寓。寄宿家庭是直接體驗當地文化的大好機會，比較獨立的同學大概會喜歡選擇公寓增添個人空間。學校也會推薦校外的住宿，但是具體的簽約和協定則需要學生自己與房東安排。學生應該儘早安排住宿問題, 以免申請不到自己理想的住房。如有更多關於住宿的問題，請利用學校的聯絡資料向學校提出問題。
  • 環繞的區域
  • 學校位於聖地牙哥市區的Gaslamp Quarter，是一座設備齊全的現代化大樓。學校附近匯集了眾多的餐館、商店和俱樂部，交通方便，離商業中心Horton Plaza不遠。加州南部的聖地牙哥市向以“海上運動樂園”聞名，人口約130万，結合周圍近郊即有300万，是僅次於加州洛杉磯市的第二大商業城。這裡宜人的氣候、輕快的生活節奏和獨特的海濱文化，使該城名列全美最適人居的十大城之一。和其他主要城市相比，這裡的犯罪率也低了許多。聖地牙哥擁有超過70哩長的沙灘海岸，附近更有終年積雪的山脈提供熱門的戶外運動場所。聖地牙哥最為人所知的不外乎是聖地牙哥動物園和野生動物園，另外還有100多個高爾夫球場、職業聯盟球隊、海洋公園(水族館及主題樂園)、博物館、戲院、歌劇院、歌舞表演及其他文化活動。從瀕臨太平洋的聖地牙哥不管是去山上、沙漠，或驅車30分便是墨西哥，2小時便可以到達洛杉磯，參觀世界知名的比佛利山莊、迪士尼樂園、環球影城、好萊塢影城等景點。

    Passion of the Teachers
    

    I really enjoyed studying English in San Diego. CISL really helped me a lot with my Cambridge Exam preparation. I was impressed by the passion of the teachers. What I really liked, were the small classes. There are not more than 8 students in the English classes, so we had more time to focus on the speaking and listening skills. The teachers welcomed any questions and were open to discuss anything that would help us to make more progress in our Cambridge Exam preparation. Learning English with other students from many different countries gave me a lot of opportunity to improve my English. I made many new friends, who allowed me to learn English, because I only could communicate in English with them during and after classes. I would definitely recommend CISL as the best place to study and improve your English skills.

    Small Class Sizes
    

    I studied Nutrition in Saudi Arabia and came to the United States for my Master’s in Nutrition. I improved all parts of my English because I couldn’t speak English the first day. I think I made a lot of progress. I was Level 1 when I arrived, and now I am Level 7 after almost one year. My speaking and writing improved the most. I liked the class because it is small, makes me more comfortable, and I get to know everyone. It is easier for the teachers to focus on us and we have time for every person in the class. I preferred my Intensive class because it made me work hard and that’s what I needed. I came to study and not just take a vacation. The Intensive course gave us a lot of vocabulary and now I can read a book in English if I want. People are very, very friendly in San Francisco. The teachers are very good too. They are friendly and helpful not only about subjects in class, but everything. Even if I am in a high level class and have a question, they don’t make me feel like I’m not good at English, they explain it to me. I made a lot of friends because of school and I have friends from every country. Now it makes me think about visiting countries that I never thought about traveling to before.

    My English Improved
    

    I am studying business back in Italy and I wanted to improve my speaking mainly. I write, read, and watch movies, but I don’t have the opportunity to speak often, so I came here. All of my English improved, especially vocabulary and grammar structures like Conditional and more advanced grammar. I improved my fluency since I spoke every day. I did not speak one word of Italian during my time here. It was a great thing that there are people from everywhere and it was a cool chance to try to understand the way people think and react to various issues. We were not only learning, but we also discussed many issues and read articles everyday. The class would be interesting even if it was in Italian! I liked the organized trips to know about the America. I had the opportunity to sightsee and meet people. In two weeks, I can say I lived in San Diego.

    English Contributes to My Overall Life
    

    I work for the executive branch of the federal government evaluating public policies. I am planning to work more with international politics and Brazil’s position globally. I am passionate about social policies and social issues. I had lots of expectations for my trip to CISL. My two goals were to improve my English (after more than a decade without studying), and to live abroad in a different culture. I achieved both goals. I learned a lot about the English language as well as the American society and values. I am glad after five and a half months I achieved my main goals. I am updated with international politics. I enjoyed discussing local newspapers in class as well as the New York Times and The Economist. It was the actual news and contemporary issues. My vocabulary improved. The Economist was the hardest at first, but now when I pick up some news I think I can understand at least 80% of what I am reading. When I arrived at CISL, I could understand 60-70% of what people said in conversation, but now I have 80-90% comprehension! My listening improved. When people speak with me, I don’t have to think about it so much. Before I didn’t have enough practice writing, but now I really enjoy it. The last part of my improvement was my speaking, mainly because of my pronunciation. This was the most difficult for me, but I took the opportunity for private lessons and you can improve a lot. I like languages.

    My Grammar Improved
    

    I am an ICT systems engineer. I wanted to learn English for myself and to understand it better. It fixed my problems with the grammar. I am a freelancer for Microsoft and a teacher for Microsoft so it is good to speak and understand both languages, English and German. My grammar improved the most in my 4 weeks here and I know more words. I hear the words and hear English everyday so I must not try so hard to think about what the words mean. It’s easier now.
