English language courses in Chicago

Chicago is a metropolis, a huge transportation hub and financial center of the United States with a developed infrastructure, whose population is about 3 million people. It is comfortably located in the south-west of the country, on the shores of Lake Michigan. This location promises mild winters and hotter summers. However, this causes such a weather feature as a constant and strong wind. Maybe that's why he has the second name - “City of Wind”.

Chicago is the third largest city, constantly attracting new residents and guests, including thousands of students who want to learn English in it.

Is it worth learning English in Chicago?

Definitely it's worth it. Learning English in Chicago has a number of advantages:
1. Immersion in the cultural and linguistic environment of the United States.
2. Multi-million, but at the same time calm metropolis.
3. Many variations of the language, as a result - an understanding of accents,
ethnic and racial differences in pronunciation, perception training
multinational speech.
4. A huge amount of entertainment for every taste.
5. Friendly and very smiling population, always ready to provide
help, regardless of whether you are a native of the city
or visitors.
6. Clean and tidy city.
It is safe to say that studying in Chicago will not be boring and
monotonous. The city can satisfy the needs of the most capricious and
spoiled man in the street. For art lovers, numerous Chicago museums are open:
Chicago Institute of Art, Museum of Modern Art, Museum of Science and
industry and many others. There's even the McDonald Museum in Chicago!
The city has many entertainment venues: on the Magnificent Mile - one of the most famous shopping streets in the world - shops, shopping centers, restaurants and hotels. Cafes, bars, dance clubs are scattered throughout the city.
You can also visit the Adler Planetarium and the Shedd Aquarium (with 7500 species of fish). And you have the opportunity to admire the city from a height
Willis Tower, standing on a glass platform 103 floors. Kilometer pier Navy Pier is also popular. In addition, Chicago is the theater capital of the United States. The Chicago Theater, built in 1921, is the historical, architectural, and sociocultural value of the city.

Separately, I want to highlight music, because Chicago is the birthplace of jazz and blues, electronic music. During the year, various musical events take place in Chicago (for example, the most famous Chicago Jazz Festival).
 

Courses

English language courses in Chicago is easy enough to choose, because language centers offer a variety of programs from Beginner levels to High-Advanced, for different age groups, with different numbers of hours, workload and teaching methods. For example, you can attend general English courses, IELTS, CAE, FCE and other exam preparation courses, as well as business English courses.

Schools

Despite the fact that Chicago is a huge metropolis, the list of language schools and centers is not as large as we would like. Nevertheless, the schools represented provide high professionalism in teaching students the English language. For example:
EF Chicago Language School is a major educational organization with
training centers in more than 55 countries. Today EF offers a wide range of curricula: from language courses to undergraduate education worldwide. Various programs (general, intensive English, preparation for international exams, summer courses) include not only language classes, but also a variety of leisure activities: parties, sports, city tours and organized trips to concerts. Along with language classes, you can enroll in thematic modules that cover a wide range of knowledge from art to business.
At Stafford House Chicago, you can start learning a language with any level of English and for any purpose, whether you wish to take general courses
English, study it for academic use or some particular specialization. The educational center has 20 classrooms, a computer and multimedia center, an independent classroom, its own library, a kitchen and a cozy seating area. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout.

The school’s mission is simply to teach English, but also to inspire teens and adults to improve themselves, to help them enjoy the new city.
Kaplan International English is located in the historic district of the city, today known for its shopping centers and entire shopping streets - Chicago Loop. Offers general and intensive English courses, preparation for international exams. It has two campuses, one of which is located in the “Loop” and the other on the basis of the Illinois Institute of Technology. A nice addition to the curriculum is thoughtful extracurricular activities, ranging from city tours to salsa lessons.

Accommodation

You can live while studying in a student dormitory, in an American family, in a hotel, in a hostel, or rent housing yourself. The level of comfort of housing and its distance from the place of study depends on the particular school and is negotiated when choosing a curriculum.
Homestay is the most popular option, which will attract those who wish to combine relatively small cash expenditures with home comfort and comfort and amenities, full house meals and immersion in the cultural and linguistic environment.

Student residences are suitable for those who want to spend a lot of time with their peers, to constantly practice the language being studied and generally feel an independent life. In most cases, from the place of residence to the place of study you will have to travel by public transport.

Visa

In order to take language courses in the United States, you can apply for any type of visa, but it is more convenient to apply for an F1 student visa, according to which all students planning to study at a language course, university or college must enter the country.
The advantages of this visa are the possibility of free movement in the country, changing the place of study, the right to a part-time job during your free time, the possibility of extending it and issuing insurance, a bank account, etc.

Student visas in the United States are issued on the basis of confirmation from the university, a completed I-20 form and a full package of documents requested by the embassy.
