English Lessons for Speakers of Other Languages

If your stay in Freetown, Sierra Leone is your first experience living in an English speaking country, you may need English lessons. We offer English lessons to speakers of other languages, having had many years' experience improving the language proficiency of adults from all parts of the world.

We first administer a placement test to assess your proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing English. Our instruction reflects the fact that English is a major language of international communication. Our lessons explore many countries, regions, and cultures. We feel that English is best learned when used for meaningful communication, in context. With the help of CD support we encourage the learning of natural, conversational, internationally-acceptable language. In addition, SELI has a 1,500-item library aimed at a variety of proficiency levels and reading interests with the intention of stimulating as much reading as possible in our students.
