About CILS
This is the Age of Communication—on a global scale. Constantly, new and improved technologies make it easier for people to communicate and travel quickly over long distances. 150 years ago, a message from Tokyo to New York City might have taken ¼ to ½ a year; now email and instant messaging allow us to send messages anywhere in the world in less than one second. Through teleconferencing, we can speak and even see in real time around the world!
Today’s world is a fast-paced, high-technology, global community. Every day, more and more people travel to various countries for vacation, to visit friends and family, for business and for social work. These days we come into contact with a wider variety of cultures, people and languages than ever before in history. Obviously, success in the world requires good communication. So in this age of high-tech, global communications, why is language teaching and learning still in the dark ages?
CILS – The Chicago International Language School – is not the conventional language school. We’re here to usher in the Golden Age of Language Learning and Teaching. Most language schools treat students like clones—they do not acknowledge that people have different desires, different goals and different personalities; that is exactly why most language schools fail to do what they supposedly exist to do—teach languages. The CILS Philosophy is different; we’re here to show people how to unlock their potential according to their individual needs.
Even if you’ve never seriously considered studying another language, we can make it easy to start on the path towards universal communication. There are billions of reasons on earth to learn a new language! Contact us and come in for three FREE trial lessons! We’re sure you’ll see the great power of language! Something great is waiting for you!
