Long-stay and Extended Courses
If your goal is to make significant progress towards English language fluency then LAL's Academic Long-stay Programme is the ideal option. A semester or a year-long study abroad programme is a tried and tested formula for thousands of students worldwide!
The best way to acquire a language is to live in a country where it is spoken and combine your time abroad with serious study – and of course some serious fun! Confident use of English is a key to success both for your academic studies and for future employers.
LAL's Academic Long-stay Programmes provide you with the ideal choice, learning environment, flexibility and benefits.

I have been in LAL school for at least six months. In that time I have attended lots of different classes. This includes Intensive English classes, focus groups, private tuition, Business English, IELTS preparation and listening classes. This means that I’ve been taught by most of the teachers and I think they’ve been incredible because I really enjoyed being taught by them. Most importantly, my English has definitely improved in every way and I believe that I have achieved what I came for. Honestly if I am going to recommend any English school to my Syrian friends, it will be LAL.
