NYC GLOBAL CENTERAbout the
NYC was established in 2022 by a team of educators with more than 20 years of teaching and administrative experience. The school initially offered educational programs to prepare students for the demands of the contemporary job market.
From the beginning, it was clear that a large number of students needed to improve both their spoken and written, English-language skills. To meet this need, OAC made the transition away from being a preparatory school to become an institute for the teaching and learning of English as a Second Language.
OAC is located in a newly-renovated, spacious, and well-lit facility in Ridgefield, New Jersey, offering a comprehensive program of communicative, English-language courses at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels to serve the needs of English language learners.
NYC Global Center serves a diverse, foreign-born population for whom English is a second language. This institution strives to realize two primary goals:
- Improve students’ ability to comprehend the English language; and
- Provide students with both the vocabulary and grammatical structures necessary to become fluent in English.
Benefit, Goal of this course :
NYC Global Center is committed to providing excellent English as a Second Language programs to non-native speakers who are serious about achieving language proficiency needed to successfully communicate with other English speakers, or simply for their own self-improvement. We recognize that our students come from diverse cultures and academic backgrounds and that every student has different strengths and weaknesses, focuses and needs.
NYC Global Center offers 6 levels (courses) in the Intensive English Program. The total number of clock hours for each course within the program’s offerings is 180 (10 weeks).
