ENGLISH PROGRAMSTALK’s English programs are built around a core curriculum providing classes with both structure and flexibility. Classes are offered at 9 levels of proficiency, from beginner to fluency with appropriate text materials provided for each level. All class levels are based on an integrated approach to language acquisition by focusing on the development of speaking, listening, reading and writing skills.
General English programs focus on the development of general language proficiency and an understanding of American life and culture. The courses will prepare you for social interaction and day-to-day activities.
Intensive English programs with academic focus tend to be more rigorous and will prepare you for success at American colleges and universities. Courses include library research methodology, academic writing skills, note-taking techniques and presentation strategies.
You can personalize your course to meet your own needs by adding electives to your core English program. Electives include Exam Preparation, Business English, Clear Speech and Pronunciation.

TEST PREPARATION
Amanda Gaspar, Instructor TALK Boston at Regis College
“My favorite part about teaching at TALK is being a friendly face to which students can come with questions, not only about English, but about American tradition and culture. For some students, we as teachers are a main representation of American values, and it's a responsibility and a privilege to represent my country in
a positive way for students.”
Internationally-recognized language certification through accredited testing organizations
provides an advantage in both your academic studies and for your lifetime career path. Whichever
certification you need, one of TALK’s Test Preparation Programs will provide you with the specific
English skills, test-taking techniques and ongoing support needed in order to obtain the highest
possible results on your exam.

“Talk International was a valuable experience in my life. It helped me improve my speaking and writing skills in English. �e classes were very personal-ized given that there were not too many students per group. Also, the Talk International course was very helpful in preparing me to apply for college (Regis College) and to get accepted. All and all, Talk International made me feel like I was part of a family by personally interacting with me and other students.”
