Ingles    

La enseñanza de un idioma requiere más que el hablarlo bien. De hecho, es un arte que combina el saber cómo aprendemos lenguajes con apreciación de porque queremos aprender un lenguaje en particular. Los buenos maestros ayudan a los estudiantes a triunfar aun cuando corren el riesgo de verse ridiculizados, y le abren a los estudiantes las ventanas hacia los nuevos mundos que un segundo idioma provee.

En el IEP elegimos instructores que conocen bien el lenguaje y que entienden la variedad de maneras en que los estudiantes se conviertan en buenos usuarios del lenguaje. Enseñamos el Ingles como se utiliza, y brindamos a los estudiantes muchas oportunidades de aprender en ambientes naturales y cotidianos. Además, los instructores y tutores son sorteados de parlantes internacionales nativos del idioma Ingles asi como de parlantes del Ingles como segundo idioma.
