School Introduction

PIMSLEUR Global Academy of Languages is a foremost provider of language education and training through standardized, pre-eminent and comprehensive learning system founded on a scientific and well-calibrated teaching methodology that guarantees practical communication experience.
The PGAL System is a most effective way to learn English because, first of all, we start your program in the right way by customizing our carefully designed basic programs to fit your specific needs and your current skills level. That is why the first phase of your program is actually an assessment and evaluation of your current English skills level making use of PGAL’s Spoken English Proficiency Test (SEPT).

Then we begin Phase II of your learning program consisting of four (4) months of Online Instruction. Phase III is our one (1) month Live English Immersion Program, in which the student travels to the resort city of Cebu, Philippines and takes up Individual Tutorials and Group Classes in our academy.

It is an excellent choice for the student who wants to pursue studies abroad, since the program is designed to equip him with essential language and communication skills.

This is for the professional who is not satisfied with “just-to-survive” English skills, or for the student who is planning to take post-graduate studies abroad. An Intermediate level of English skills is required to undergo this program because it involves specialized vocabulary and more technical discussion topics. The 4-month Online Instruction phase is an excellent preparation for the 4-week Immersion program in which students are not only exposed to English speaking environment, but a business setting as well.
