I love teaching at LAL...... because every day I am able to share my love of the English language with my students. It's great to see our students grow in confidence as they learn, and it's really satisfying when you can see that they have understood something for the first time. Each day is different, and every student brings a new outlook to the classroom.
Chris Bardot, Teacher at LAL London

Our levels and curriculumOur curriculum is based on the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. CEFR was put together by the Council of Europe and is used all over the world as the standard for grading individuals’ language proficiency.
The CEFR descriptors indicate the proficiency that should be achieved at each level. The table above includes a summary, and includes comparable levels of other common standards.
First-day testing establishes starting levels so we can make sure that everyone is in the right class. Completing one level usually takes about 10-12 weeks but with effort, involvement and motivation this can be achieved in a shorter period of time.

Before I came to LAL, I said “I will never speak English”...but thanks to my course, I could learn and improve my English. Private tuition is a good way to learn how to interact and work on your self-confidence.Paola Carli, Italy
I booked Intensive lessons......as longer study would help me to improve my English more quickly. I’m happy with the classes as the topics are interesting and I can improve my grammar as well as my vocabulary. I enjoy the speaking practice and meeting students from different classes. The lessons are helping me to improve all my language skills.Li- Tsu Chen, Taiwan
All my teachers are awesome....The lessons are great and very helpful. I have seen a great improvement. I have learned new things and improved my English every day. All the people at LAL are friendly and you will be greeted with a smile every day.Markus Trost, Austria
Students are given loads of material to work with... ...and there are excellent teachers who are always willing to help you and encourage you to learn and be better every day. If anybody ever asks me about studying at LAL, I say that it is the greatest place to be and that I was taught by teachers who helped me in everything I needed.

• CPE - Cambridge English: Proficiency, also known as Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE), is our most advanced qualification. It proves you have achieved an extremely high level in English.

We learned interesting things about business... ...and how to answer the phone properly and so on. It wasn’t only about the vocabulary but we also learned how to think as if we were in business situations. Our teacher showed us interesting business TV shows and we enjoyed debating about them.

There are ten formal English lessons during the course and an experienced LAL teacher is always on hand for informal learning, whether it be on a white, sandy beach or in full view of a herd of elephants drinking at a watering hole. Our qualified guide will take the students to each new adventure and educate them on the local area.
A good combination between travel and school...Our teacher was really friendly, but during the formal lessons he was a really good teacher. We talked about a lot of different subjects and he explained and corrected us. Our tour guide was also funny and polite, kind and attentive to us – really excellent!

There is something for everyone here, free museums for the curious and free galleries for the artistic, over 100 theatres for drama enthusiasts, and some of the most famous sights in the world for everyone to see. All this, and amazing parks, bars and cafés.
Learning English in London will be one of the best choices to make: after all, where could be better to learn English than the capital of England?
Twickenham is typically English with pretty streets and weekend markets, small independent shops and traditional English pubs. The district has loads of local theatres, and is close to Royal Parks full of wild deer.
Twickenham is also a great location for the explorer, as it is ideally located to visit central London in 20 minutes, Windsor Castle in half an hour and, of course, Twickenham stadium.
Twickenham is the rugby hub for England and major concerts are also played at the stadium: Beyonce and Rihanna performed here in 2013.

The south coast of Devon is a great place to learn English. It’s easy to use new language skills while discovering an area that is typically English, yet sometimes feels more like the south of France. It’s a great place to study, and a great place to enjoy a vacation: the perfect location for a language holiday.
About Torbay: the English Riviera
Torbay is a traditional English seaside resort but our excellent climate, sub-tropical gardens, harbours full of luxury yachts, and elegant houses overlooking the sea have given the area the nickname of ‘the English Riviera’.
The Bay is surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside in England and is within easy reach of world-famous sights, such as Dartmoor, Stonehenge and the Cornish coasts.
Millions of tourists come to Torbay for relaxing beach holidays, to explore the beautiful surroundings, to enjoy water sports out on the waves, or just to have a fun-filled trip: the English Riviera offers something for everyone.
There is a wide range of events in Torbay throughout the year, from powerboat championships to an Agatha Christie festival. There is one of the largest zoos in England, a big waterpark, beautiful caves, and three busy town centres to explore.
Get out on the water by boat or kayak, or try scuba diving or waterskiing – all in Torbay.
Torbay has four theatres, cinemas and a good range of nightclubs and bars to entertain, and award-winning restaurants to tempt the taste buds. It’s all here – on the English Riviera.
Torbay is really three towns: Paignton, Torquay and Brixham. They have a combined population of 135,000.
Paignton is the holiday centre of the bay, with the longest beaches, one of the largest zoos in Britain and a really friendly atmosphere.
Torquay is home to the grandest houses, smartest shops and trendiest night spots, so it is known as the ‘Queen of the Riviera’.
Brixham is the smallest Riviera town and is one of Britain’s key fishing ports, with lovely coastal walks from its pretty harbour.
41LAL Adult Courses 2015facebook.com/laltorbay
My favourite place in Torbay...is the zoo located in the middle of the town, with lots of different species from the turtles to the rhinoceros. It’s definitely a good opportunity for people of any age who want to spend a different day in contact with nature.Francesca Bastianello, Italy
Three reasons to love Torbay:Best in BritainTorbay was voted the best seaside resort in Britain in the 2014 Trip Advisor Travellers' Choice Awards, and Lonely Planet voted the south west of England one of the top three places to visit in Europe in 2014.
Soak up the sunOK, it's not the hottest place in the world, but Torbay has the warmest weather, and more hours of sunshine than almost anywhere in Britain. Best of all, it's not too cold in winter, and not unbearably hot in the summer.
Typically EnglishIf you want to discover part of England that really does feel English, the south west of England is a great choice, with beautiful countryside, small towns and friendly people.

See more on excursionsWith our guides you can discover hidden places in historic towns such as picturesque Dartmouth, eco-friendly Totnes and the fishing port of Brixham, as well as seeing the highlights of university cities such as Plymouth and Exeter or cathedral cities such as Salisbury.
Have more funSome things are meant to be shared: group events such as the exciting combat challenge of Battlefield Live or tours to a local brewery are much more fun on an LAL excursion.
It's easier with LAL TorbayThanks to our own fleet of minibuses, our excursions are the easiest way to visit the championship surfing beaches of Cornwall and the rugged cliffs of Land’s End, or famous sights such as Stonehenge. Board our bus at the school, and step off in Oxford, Cardiff or St Ives: our drivers will point out the sights on the way as well.
Plus you can discover places you might not find on your own: see a rainforest in Cornwall, for example, or watch an open-air theatre show.
Every week we run a selection of excellent excursions to help you make the most of your time in England. Six of our most popular are shown above, but the programme changes every seven days.

Malta adopted a number of English traditions, being once a part of the British Empire. English tea, red letter boxes and telephone kiosks, left-side driving and the English language are now integral parts of Malta’s culture and life-style.
Maltese people are well-known for their hospitality, friendliness and warm-hearted Mediterranean culture. The history, ever-growing tourism and the increasing number of foreigners living here permanently have all contributed to making Malta one of the most visitor-friendly countries in Europe.
Sliema was once a fishing village and is now a popular upmarket commercial seaside town on the east coast of Malta. The area is full of restaurants and leisure places as well as some modern shopping arcades and numerous hotels.
Sliema offers a great environment for study, within easy reach of the capital city, Valletta, and other heritage sites and areas. St Julian’s, a popular nightlife area, is only 10 minutes away.
Sliema’s promenade is one of the most popular social meeting places in Malta, and is a great place to stroll and to relax.
Sliema has a wide range of cafés and restaurants making it an ideal place for socialising.
Sliema is a short ferry ride across the harbour to Valletta, and direct buses run from Sliema to all parts of the island.

Gozo is Malta’s sister island. It is greener, more rural and smaller than Malta and has its own distinct character and relaxed atmosphere. Ghajnsielem is a tranquil and picturesque village within walking distance of Mgarr Harbour where ferries run regularly to and from Malta.
It is the perfect place to unwind, yet offers plenty of things to do. Malta’s sister island is just a half-hour ferry ride away from Malta’s northernmost tip.
Be spoilt for choice with quaint shops, places to eat delicious local food, vibrant night spots and much more.
The island’s tranquil towns and villages are picturesque and still uphold many traditions. The countryside has an amazing variety of scenery, from rocky hillsides, past carob trees and prickly pears, through quiet valleys to wind-swept cliffs and down to salt pans and beaches.

The city was established in the 1600s as a supply centre and has developed into a major metropolis of about three and a half million people. You can see the city’s colonial roots in the unique 18th century ‘Cape Dutch’ buildings and later British-influenced Victorian and Edwardian houses too.
You can explore South Africa’s history in the museums, soak up the culture in the galleries and theatres, or relax on the beaches.
If you like to shop, Cape Town has great markets and malls. Rich in culture and fashion, Cape Town offers you unique places to shop and experience the local culture.
The Cape Region is an area full of natural beauty: wildlife, mountain ranges, beaches and unique flora, surrounded by teeming waters.
The area around Cape Town is amazing, from vineyards producing world-famous wine, served in some of the world’s top restaurants in the Cape region, to the unique ‘fynbos’ vegetation.
The animals are impressive, from lions, cheetahs and elephants on land to whales out at sea.
Just off Cape Town is Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was held for 18 years.

Whether you examine Boston’s past or its future, you will discover that Boston has always been, and will always be, a cosmopolitan centre that attracts the intellectuals, the curious, and the adventurers.
The Boston area is the country’s centre for higher education and modern medicine. A couple of the best universities in the world are in the Boston area: Harvard University and MIT. The best hospitals and medical research carried out in the world are also within Boston at hospitals like the Children’s Hospital and the Harvard Medical School.
Boston also has the strongest economy in the New England Region, with industries in biotechnology, scientific research, higher technology, and finance.
Like most of the USA, Boston grew from the hard work of its immigrant population. Do not be surprised to learn that green is the favourite colour in Boston because green is a symbol of the city’s rich Irish-immigrant history. The annual St Patrick’s Day Parade in Boston is a testimony to this. The North End neighbourhood in Boston with its excellent Italian Restaurants and Italian ambiance is a product of the Italian immigration period.
Today, Boston is the new home for immigrants from all over the world. As you shop and dine in the city, you will find many ethnic restaurants and shops to try.
The New England region of the USA is well-known for its beautiful seasons. In the lush, green spring, blossoms fill the air. In the summer, locals hit the seashore and spend time in the cool waters. Foliage viewing is popular in the autumn. New England is completely beautiful when the trees change into the bright colours of fire red, sunny yellow, and shades of orange and brown. Snow blankets the earth in winter, and has inspired many poets to write fondly of this time of the year.

Toronto is the business capital of Canada, and an economic powerhouse of North America. Home to over 2.5 million residents, Toronto welcomes individuals and families from every part of the world. Toronto has been named the “City of Neighbourhoods” to reflect the many nationalities and characteristics of the city. We celebrate our diversity with many cultural festivals throughout the year.
Toronto is known for its prestigious post-secondary institutions. Well established colleges and universities provide students with a high quality education. English language proficiency has become essential to gain success in the business world and Toronto is right in the middle of it. Toronto is a great place to establish or train for a successful career.
Toronto hosts many concerts, culinary events, festivals and art exhibits. The modern city is filled with exciting new artists and art galleries to explore.

I achieved my goals:speak a lot of English and learn a lot of vocabulary. It has been a beautiful time because I was the only Italian and so I met a lot of people from all over the world.
