Beijing International Ladder School of Language

Beijing International Ladder School of Language lies in the Tongzhou District of Beijing Municipality. This was one of the first institutions to offer an intensive language program with immersion in the "whole language" environment. The classrooms are equipped with the latest technology and student dormitories provide hotel-style service, including food and other basic daily necessities for learners. There are recreational and sporting facilities, such as, basketball, table tennis, exercise area, etc. After attending Chinese language lessons in the morning, students get a chance to practice what they have learnt at the school coffee shop, art store, or hotel check-in counter in the afternoon. This creates a "whole language" experience in which learners apply what they have learnt in real situations outside the classroom.

The intensive language program is one of the most effective ways for language learning that have been used in many countries around the world today. The intensive language pro-gram offered in an ideal language environment that forces the learners to use the language in daily life will have far better results than expected. Beijing International Ladder School of Language is the first institute in China to carry out an intensive Chinese language program within an ideal language environment. Participants in this program are likely to attain fastest progress in learning speaking Chinese in the shortest possible time frame.

Beijing International Ladder School of Language is amongst the first primary sponsors of a set of books called "The Course of Intensive Chinese." One of its professors was the author responsible for the contents.
