Everything I learned at the Monterey Institute helps me grow as a language teacher. The experiences at the Institute will have a life long effect on you. Through the challenge of the curriculum and the support of the faculty, I was able to shape my beliefs and philosophy of language teaching and learning. In my everyday teaching, I continually draw on the lessons I learned at the Monterey Institute to continue my development as a professional language educator.

The Monterey Institute has been designing, setting up, and running special intensive English language programs using the expertise provided through our Master's Degree in Teaching English and Foreign Language.
Current Programs
Over the years we have formed close ties with many universities as well as government institutions in Asia and are currently offering special English group programs to students and government officials from:
Kanda Gaigo University (Japan)
Kwansei Gakuin University (Japan)
University of Shimane (Japan)
Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (Korea)
Each program has been specifically designed with the collaborating institution's objectives for advancing English language learning in mind. Thus each program has a different curriculum as well as additional program components that vary - see individual program descriptions.
Other Languages
Although most of the programs designed thus far have primarily focused on English language study, we would be happy to set up intensive group programs in foreign languages as well.
