EF International Language Center - Santa Barbara About the

  • In the early 1960s, a young swedish man named Bertil Hult went to UK for the first time. I was a student who always had had difficulties in studying because of dyslexia. But surprisingly in UK he learned English with not that many difficulties. So he became sure that traditional teaching method in classes is not always effective and decided to establish a small company named Europeiska Ferieskolan (European Holiday School or EF) combining language education and traveling abroad. Bertil made a programme that provides field study outside a class and named it Sprakresor, that is to say Language Travel. Today, field study is the foundation of modern education. It has been philosophy supporting all EF programs for 50 years.
    Study English at Boston language school and learn in the heart of American academia. More than just traditional English courses, exam preparation and EF English courses for business ready students for their future, whether they plan to be in a corporate boardroom or Harvard lecture hall. The Boston language school campus is located on 17 manicured acres and housed in a historical building, matching the iconic red-brick architecture found throughout the city. The classic academic look of Boston language school campus rivals that of top American universities. Many of English courses in Boston are held in a stately lecture hall, and iLabs, student lounges and full-service cafeteria complete the campus experience. Active students benefit from onsite recreation fields and the public basketball and tennis courts just across the street from the school.

私がサンタバーバラ校にした理由は、
学期にも寄りますが、比較的日本人の割合が少ないのと
サンタバーバラは、穏やかな気候に恵まれ、様々なアウトドアスポーツ、ショッピングや映画を
満喫できるだけじゃなく、学校周辺にはカフェやレストランも充実しているということで
ここの学校を選びました。

穏やかな気候なので、週末はよくホストファミリーとスポーツしに出かけていました!

私が留学していた時は、日本人の割合が少なく方でしたが
日本人同士でも授業中はもちろん英語でしたし、授業中英語で話すことになれたおかげか、
放課後や週末その日本人の遊ぶ時も恥ずかしさなど感じず、ほとんど英語での会話でした^^
それもとてもレベルアップに繋がったなと思います。
