Course description

Life USA Orlando focus on the communicative/integrated approach.
By focusing on this technique, students are more confident and willing to speak. But communicative competence is not simply the ability to speak or write about what one needs or wants to say at the moment. It is the ability to have meaningful social, intellectual, and practical interaction with others in the language. In addition, for a student to have a more diverse and well-rounded skill set, they must be encouraged to interact with the language in a less controlled environment, mirroring real life.

visa

Visa support

We cannot apply for visas on behalf of students. However, the school can supply you with all the documentation you need to support your visa application.

If you are studying full time in the United States for more than 18 hours per week, you will receive an I-20 that you need to submit to the US embassy along with your F-1 student visa application. The I-20 has a SEVIS tracking number on it. Students who wish to apply for a student visa must pay the SEVIS fee online before going to the US embassy or consulate for their visa interview.

Your I-20 will be sent to your home address by regular mail at no charge to you. If you wish to receive your paperwork by express mail, you will be charged $100 when you register.

Please note that United States law states that an I-20 can only be issued to students who intend to pursue full-time English language studies. United States law does not permit students to study part-time with an F-1 Student Visa. If you are studying for less than 18 hours per week, you have to apply for a Visitor Visa (B1/B2) on your own.
