Whether you want to learn or improve a second language, prepare for language examinations, meet professional job requirements, or simply enhance your personal life, the Institute can help you achieve your goals. The Institute provides language courses from beginner level to advanced for teenagers and adults, and has two subsidiary education businesses teaching languages to children, schools, and corporations.
A Highly Successful Teaching Approach
The Institute has developed a highly successful teaching approach, incorporating multimedia learning and oral communication skills, designing its courses to make learning as engaging and interesting as possible. Courses are taught by qualified native speakers and cater for students from beginner to advanced level.
The learning mode is either private classes or small group classes of up to 8 students, and the Institute also offers tailor-made private classes where students have specific language goals to achieve. Exam preparation courses are either private or small group classes and are designed to build confidence through learning exam techniques and practicing through mock exams. Courses are available 7 days a week from beginner to advanced level, so you can plan your learning around your busy schedule.
Express Learning
If you are pressed for time, the Institute has developed a new express learning method where the fundamentals of a language can be taught in just 24 hours. The Institute has commenced the
new language offering with the French language and offers 7 products developed specifically around the needs of language learners who wish to learn a language quickly and efficiently. These include courses such as ‘Intensive 24’, where students can learn practical French language skills that can be put to use right away in social and formal settings, ‘Cultural 24’, where students will gain a foundation in the French language through connecting to the culture, and ‘Travel 24’, where students can gain the most from their holiday or work trip to French speaking countries.
Courses for Kids and Families
The Institute offers a full range of courses for all ages and levels, all taught by qualified and caring native teachers. For kids aged between 1.5 and 12 years, the
HK Kidz language school offers a fun and engaging way to improve their language skills through stimulating learning activities. HK Kidz has developed a creative proven approach to teaching languages, which focuses on giving youngsters positive reinforcement to boost their confidence while strengthening their ability to communicate in a different language. Classes are 100 percent face to face in dedicated facilities designed for children’s learning, and the languages taught include English, French, German, Spanish, Mandarin, and Japanese.
Classes are available weekdays after school and the whole day on Saturday, and parents can choose from a learning mode of small group classes (4 to 8 children per class) or a tailor-made individual course for their child. Small group classes are organised by age and level to ensure a homogenous class dynamic that provides optimal linguistic progress. The school also offers tailor-made courses for the whole family, who can learn a new language together and enrich their life in Hong Kong.
New French Language Course
The Hong Kong Institute of Languages has also launched a new
French Language Foundation course which is specifically designed for children aged 4 and 6 and 7 and 12, and aims to teach kids basic French and enhance their learning through the teaching of fundamental aspects of the French culture, such as French festivals, cuisine, iconic places, famous artists, and more. While each lesson is structured around a defined learning outcome, the course is fun and engaging and children learn through structured creative activities that bring the language to life. At the end of the course, students will be able to progress to Beginner 2 Level, which has the added benefit of assisting children with their applications to good Primary Schools that teach French as an optional language class.
Children's Language Activity Camps
The school also provides dedicated
language camps available during
Easter,
Summer, and
Christmas. Aside from being culturally enriching, these camps are activity based and a lot of fun. The emphasis is on the spoken language to encourage children to speak as much as possible and become actively involved in each lesson.
