Language levels at LSI

LSI Brussels use the European Framework of Reference for Languages to determine your exact level of language. If you don't know your level, we will evaluate it for free and give you the results.


Our methodology

All of our teachers are qualified to teach their mother tongue. At LSI, we only work with the most competent trainers as we are keenly aware that the quality of your chosen courses depends largely on your teacher.
 
No more passive learning.We work through an interactive and communicative approach where you'll have the chance to put new language into practice while learning.

Our objective is to enable you to communicate in all relevant situations of both your daily and professional life.

You will practise the target language through:

  • classroom conversation and discussion

  • speaking activities in pairs, small groups and individual presentations

  • exercises supported by audiovisual media


Up to date teaching material

Books, manuals, personalised worksheets, authentic written and audio documents.

LSI's educational team and teachers use a wide range of the most relevant and up to date language learning resources. This ensures that you will experience the most appropriate teaching methods and materials for both your needs and level. These are complemented by a variety of audiovisual up to date resources.

 

LSI's E-learning platform

To complement more traditional educational material such as worksheets LSI offers a structured and attractive e-learning platform.

Every learner has access to their personal account, whenever and wherever they wish.

With their learning profiles personalised by the pedagogical team and the teacher, each learner can :

  • Practice grammar and vocabulary following a personalised path with entertaining and effective exercises, using real-life situations for pronunciation
  • Take tests to check understanding before progressing to the next module
  • Practise on the social-learning platform with exercises and practical activities chosen by your teacher.
  • Interact with other students on the platform to be part of a wider learning community and increase motivation.
  • Activate your potential and optimise the language learning process through exercises directly inspired by research on language.

 

Throughout your training

At LSI Brussels we fully understand that our students progress at different rates which is why our courses are tailor-made for you. That is also why we follow up your language training with your teachers.
 
For every step of your training, we use specific tools and evaluation system. We also like to ask for your opinion about your teachers and what could be done to improve ourselves. It allows us to better answer your expectations.
 
For the time of your language training, you teacher will fin in a pedagogical file of what you've been studying and at the end of it, you will be presented with a progress report and a course completion certificate. This will certify your level of achievement in your chosen language.
