Lexis Language Centre Dudley College The Broadway Dudley West Midlands DY1 4AS United Kingdom Tel. +44 1384 363422 or +44 1384363246 Fax +44 1384 363316 Long and short English Language courses at this British Council accredited school, with the opportunity to study academic and vocational activities at Dudley College at no extra cost. | |||
Andrew's comment: Dudley is located just outside Birmingham, so it combines the pace of a small city with the advantages of a large one. When I last saw the school, it catered mostly to younger adults. As it is closely associated with a college, it would be ideal for this age group. As a note of interest, I'd like to add that Tony Tysoe - the school's founder - has recently moved into Catalonia upon retiring. Several of our students followed courses at Lexis and have been satisfied with their experience. | |||

York University English Language Institute 4700 Keele Street Toronto, Ontario M3J 1P3 Canada Tel. +1 416 736 5353 Fax +1 416 736 5908 This English Language Institute at York University has courses at pre- intermediate level and upwards. It is located at a modern college with the possibility of on-campus accommodation from May until the end of August. | |||
| Andrew's comment: I spent time talking to YUELI's Manager of Professional Programs, Michael Twohey, Ph. D. and watched some student presentations that were given in the Pre-MBA language course. The Pre-MBA is designed primarily for students who have been accepted at York's renowned Schulich School of Business or for those who are interested in pursuing an MBA at other North American business schools. YUELI's Professional Programs seem suitable for students who already have an intermediate to advanced level of English and wish to improve their commercial language skills while making contact with business people from different countries. | ||
