EC Language Center Boston About the
EC Malta was established in 1991 as EC’s first and only school. This small school quickly gained a wonderful reputation and became one of the leading English language schools in Malta. Fast-forwarding to today you can see where this reputation has taken us. EC now has 15 schools in five countries on three continents. This year EC’s 700-plus staff will help over 40,000 students from over 140 countries to learn and improve their English language skills. You will only find EC schools in English-speaking countries and only in the top locations. Our schools are always in the most prestigious and central areas of the city. Choose any EC school and you will be impressed by the facilities the school has to offer. We heavily invest in keeping our schools modern and comfortable for you. We know you will learn better when you are relaxed and in a good environment. From innovating Club 50+ to Freestyle English programmes, we’re always looking at introducing new courses and improving the service we offer. We listen to our students and appreciate the feedback they give us. This allows us to establish new English courses as the needs of today’s English learners change. Maybe that’s why 97% of 40,000 EC students would recommend EC to a friend! In our 15 centres we have accumulated a combined total of over 150 years of English language teaching experience and each new EC school helps us to enrich ourselves, making us more diverse and adding to our strengths as a whole.

Ｂｏｓｔｏｎ은 작지도 크지도 않은 도시로， 유서 깊은 도시지만 명성에 비해 규모가 작다는 인상이 강합니다． 그러나 건물과 공원이 아름답고 미국 내에서는 비교적 안전하고 친절한 도시로， 생활하기에는 아주 적합한 도시입니다． 대중교통은 시설은 조금 낡았지만 지하철이 아주 잘 발달되어 보스턴 어디를 가더라도 어려움이 없으나 버스를 이용하는 지역에서 통학하는 학생들은 다소 불편할 수 있습니다．또한 단점으로는 ｒｅｎｔ가 다소 비싼 편에 속하는데， 미리 보스턴 코리아 등의 커뮤니티를 통해 살펴보고 구해보면 의외로 좋은 숙소를 싸게 구할 수도 있습니다．위치가 위치인 만큼 겨울에 매우 춥다는 이야기를 들었고， 지금도 상당히 춥습니다．
Ｅｃ Ｂｏｓｔｏｎ은 일단 다운타운의 중심에 위치해서 접근성이 좋고， 주변 환경과 시설이 뛰어납니다． 선생님들은 다소 편차가 있지만 비교적 열의가 있고 강의력도 좋은 편입니다． 수업에 따라 지루하고 별 도움이 없는 내용을 다룬다던가，반 분위기가 별로 좋지 않다던가 하는 일을 겪을 수가 있지만 이런 일은 어느 어학원에서나 있을 수 있는 일이라 생각합니다． 학원에 대한 만족도는 상당히 높은 편입니다． 방과 후 액티비티도 잘 구성되어 있으나 본인은 참여해 본적이 없습니다． 스카이 다이빙이나 나이아가라 폭포 관광， 뉴욕 관광， 아울렛 방문 등 흥미로운 액티비티도 있으며， 물론 이러한 액티비티는 추가 비용부담을 해야 합니다．
한국인 비율은．． 시즌에 따라 다르며， 특히 반에 따라 크게 달라집니다만 상당히 높은 편이라고 생각합니다． 샌프란시스코，뉴욕 등에서 트랜스퍼해온 학생들의 말을 들으니 한국인 비율 문제는 어느 어학원이나 비슷한 모양압니다． 다만 의외로 ＬＡ나 ＭＩＡＭＩ가 한국인 비율이 상대적으로 낮다고 합니다．남미 계통이나 사우디 학생들이 많고， 유럽 학생들은 방학 시즌에 단기 연수를 하는 경우가 많습니다． 학생들은 대체로 친절하고 서로 잘 어울리는 분위기입니다．
波士頓是一個小而歷史悠久的城市，比起其名聲，更給人小規模的印象。然而，這裡有美麗的建築物和公園，在美國更是相對友好安全，適合居住的城市。雖然公共交通設施稍微老舊，但是地鐵非常發達，搭地鐵去波士頓的其他地方都很方便，但對於搭乘公共汽車通勤的學生，交通還是略為不便。另外一個缺點是，大部分的租金較為昂貴，如果透過MINI KOREA 等社區了解並找房子的話，也許能找到比起想像中更划算的房子。另外也聽說冬天時隨著不同的地方而會比較寒冷，即使是現在天氣也相當地冷。

TOEFL, GRE를 들었습니다. 사실 이학원에 온 이유는 internship을 위해서였는데, 다음주부터 일을 시작하게 되었구요. 학원 규모가 작지만, 작은만큼 저처럼 시험준비를 하는 학생에겐 유리하다고 할 수 있겠죠. TOEFL이나 GRE를 가르치는 선생님은 같은데, 수업이 괜찮은 편입니다. 하지만 학생수가 변동이 심하기 때문에, 학생수가 많아지면 자연히 능률을 조금 떨어지는게 사실입니다. 하지만, 학원규모가 그다지 크지 않고, 아직 유명세가 덜하므로 크게 걱정은 안해도 될것 같구요. 현재 학원이 규모를 키우고 있습니다. 보스턴 중심가에 건물을 하나 사서 클래스도 늘리고, 심심찮게 지하철에 학원 광고도 보입니다. 불만사항중 하나는, 컴퓨터 시설이었는데, 현재진행중인 규모증강 프로젝트와 함께 늘려나갈 계획이라더군요. 사실, 인턴쉽을 목적으로 다닌학원이라서 저는 크게 신경안쓰고 다닐 수 있었습니다.
