Participants:

Language teaching and learning at ICLS is based on the premise that language is a system of sounds by which people communicate. ICLS emphasizes the mastery of the sounds of English, both in speaking and listening. The principal activity in the classroom is oral practice known as Induced Discourse, which is a continuous exchange between student and teacher. New elements of the language are systematically introduced, with the result that the student learns something new by using them to communicate. There is constant attention to the development of native-like sounds and an understanding of the nuances of idiomatic English as it is spoken by native speakers. Reading and writing are also taught at all levels. Homework is assigned daily; it includes written composition, outside reading and study materials, and listening exercises.
