GETS specializes in providing business, non-profit, government, and educational organizations with a comprehensive, results-driven, and integrated ESL learning system. It is this total system approach to learning that separates us from our competitors’ emphasis on specific courses or classes. There are numerous advantages to learning a second language. All of our programs are developed using a patented, research-based technology system called TALL (Technology Assisted Language Learning).
With a foundation of sound theory, research results, successful implementations, and research-based improvement, the TALL software includes the best components of a successful ESL learning system. The system incorporates the many teaching approaches that are proven to be essential to successful language acquisition. Combining these concepts with the strengths of both teacher instruction and technology-assisted instruction makes the TALL software an effective and rewarding way to both teach and learn a foreign language. We offer the following ESL learning programs: CORE ESL LEARNING PROGRAM
 Level 1-4
These four levels represent the core curriculum of our ESL learning system. The highest degree of proficiency and success in learning all of the necessary aspects of a language will be most likely realized by enrolling in and completing each of these four levels. Students will receive timely exposure to and the proper balance of vocabulary, grammar, listening, conversation, reading, and speaking exercises. These levels are integrated, and they methodically and progressively build upon each other with increasingly more difficulty. It may be possible for a student to be so advanced as to start at a higher level; however, we would still strongly advise that they take all four levels. This will help assure no major gaps in their knowledge of the language; their fluency in speaking; and their fluency in real language use and communication in real world situations.
NOTE: Level 1 and Level 2 are taught in one of the seven support langauges (Korean, Chinese, Spanish, Tongan, Samoan, and French). Level 3 and level 4 are taught exclusively in English.
See the Course Outlines below for more details on each level. These will help you to self assess your readiness for the GETS ESL learning program.
