International Language School

This quote has been a kind of motto for our school since ILS was founded. At ILS, we are convinced that language is not just a means of communication, but goes far beyond that. We deeply welcome and value cultural diversity and want to enable people to experience the beauty of our differences in language and culture. Our actions are guided by the desire to promote language and culture, especially among adults and children, while encouraging and supporting lifelong learning.

The ILS is therefore guided by the following principles:

• We take your individual needs into account.
• We provide you with personal and professional support.
• We maintain a pleasant school and learning atmosphere.
• We place great importance on applying what we have learned in everyday life.
• We offer varied and practice-oriented learning.
• We create and guarantee high-quality teaching.
• We promote and nurture cultural diversity.

The andragogical principles that ILS lives by are as follows:

• Learners show interest and learn in a self-directed and independent manner.
• Learners actively shape their learning process and contribute their experience and knowledge.
• The lessons are relevant to everyday life and take place in a stimulating learning environment.
• The teacher makes the lessons varied and active.
• Emphasis is placed on continuous learning progress.

Our goals are for our customers to...

• ...take personal responsibility for successful language acquisition with the help of the teacher.
• ...try to contribute your own experiences and problems and actively participate in class.
• ...work toward their individual goals and actively seek help when uncertainties arise.
• ...maintain open and constructive communication and a culture of feedback with ILS teachers and employees.
• ...communicate actively both inside and outside of class, and apply and practice the content of the lessons.
• ...enjoy learning the target language and feel supported.
