English Programs
In our language school, 6-levels interactive education model is applied. In this model, we include mainly North American English, but also all different usages, considering that English learners should learn the usages from different parts of the world. At the first 4 levels, General English, and at the later 2 levels an Academic English education is given. Our courses are designed to help students practice all aspects of the English language with an emphasis on oral fluency and progress systematically.
Our lessons include a balance of activities focusing on the key areas of grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation as well as development of the students' skills in reading, writing, listening and speaking.
Levels are listed below.
* Beginner
* Elementary
* Pre-Intermediate
* Intermediate
* Upper-Intermediate
* Advanced
Each level takes between 8 to 15 weeks to finish, based on program schedules. A quiz is given after 62 hours, and a final after 126 hours. The student must achieve 70% in order to pass to the next level. Attendance, being active during the lessons and the tests are also important.
The 6 Levels education systems are valid worldwide. A healthy education is only possible in classes which are suited to the student’s level. Students of socallaa are put in the most suitable levels after a detailed assessment test.
Each level consists of 128 lessons. Mini-quizzes during the course, a midterm test in the middle, and a final test at the end of the course are conducted.
A language can best be learned from a native speaker, but only if they are educated and certified. socallaa chooses its entire teaching staff from degreed teachers and displays the diplomas in their administrative offices. Each teacher's resume is carefully inspected and researched.

extended break from their studies at So Cal Language Academy so they may be placed at a appropriate level.
