OISE-OxfordAbout the
Establishment of 1990, OISE distinguishes itself by being the only language training organisation to specialise exclusively in the provision of intensive courses. All participants are immersed in anenvironment conducive to serious, concentrated study. OISE students share the same aims andthe same commitment to learning. Furthermore, since OISE only teaches a language in thecountry where it is spoken, the participant is obliged to speak, listen to, read and write thelanguage all day long. This powerful combination of structured learning within the school andspontaneous language acquisition outside ensures that the participant achieves his or her language learning ambition. The Oxford Intensive School of English provides intensive language teaching which is both demanding of the participant and fulfilling in its results. Our teaching philosophy is the strong belief that clear aims and hard work yield the best results. At OISE Oxford, we specialise in helping ambitious learners to improve their English as much as possible in a short time. Our students come from many different countries and backgrounds, but they all share a common aim: to work hard on their English and become much more confident when using it in real life. Building our students’ confidence in using English is the most important thing we do. Our teachers understand that each student is different, and that everyone has different reasons for learning English. Each student’s course is built around their individual needs, and every lesson has a clear aim to help the student to progress. Students work together with carefully selected tutors, who guide their development in the areas which are important to them.

Homestay To maximise the opportunities for speaking the language, OISE has a policy of never allowing two students of the same mother tongue to stay in any one host family.

Houses must be comfortable, the hosts welcoming and, above all, genuinely interested in receiving students and helping them to develop fluency in the language.
