It is a famous tourist destination and is home to such attractions as Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm; it has sandy beaches for swimming and surfing, yacht harbors for sailing and pleasure boating, and extensive areas for parks and open space for golf, tennis, hiking, kayaking, cycling, skateboarding, and other outdoor recreation. The O.C. is also the center of Southern California's Tech Coast, with Irvine being the primary business hub. There is one school break during the year: Winter Break Students at Language Systems enjoy a variety of activities such as making movies with our Film Group Project, going to our annual Beach, Luau, and Halloween parties, and competing in our Soccer, Basketball, Beach Volleyball, and Bowling Tournaments.

Our job as ESL educators goes far beyond simply teaching English. Its one thing to teach a student English, but it is a completely different thing to teach them the experience of English. With a forward-thinking attitude, we are constantly striving to be at the forefront of the latest technology and learning methodologies in the industry. Our curriculum is structured on a blended learning model, one that is heavily e-based and fully corpora informed. In so doing, we are able to flip our classrooms, allowing our students to dictate their own education and interact with the language as they learn it. We strongly believe in providing an authentic education, one that simulates English in action, as it exists today. It is our goal as an institution to ensure that, upon completing our program, our students have reached levels of proficiency that meet or exceed CERF standards. More importantly, however, it is our goal to endow them with capability to practically apply those skills in future pursuits, whatever they may be.
