TALL:
Technology Assisted
    Language Learning

School's computer assisted language learning (CALL) program uses the leading edge Technology Assisted Language Learning software and technology. We are the only language school in Honolulu to offer this to English language students. The TALL study program allows students to:

  • Spend time each day building on their language skills with a computer program that adapts to their learning needs.
  • Review and improve in the areas that are most difficult.
  • Measure the speed and accuracy of their responses.
  • Study at their own pace and comfort level.
  • Get individualized attention from a TALL instructor.

TALL is available as a stand-alone program, or in combination with other programs. Our Super-Intensive course combines 20 hours per week in the English for Communication course with 5 hours per week in our computer lab using TALL.

TALL uses a holistic approach. Unlike other English language learning programs that solely focus on either technology instruction or classroom instruction, TALL integrates the best of technology, teachers, native speakers and real-world practice to produce better, faster results.

TALL applies a task-based approach to learning English. We divide language learning up into practical language tasks that a person needs to accomplish everyday. As each task is mastered, the learner can immediately apply that knowledge in English settings while continuing to learn new tasks.

Town Information

Capital and main port of the state of Hawaï, on the south coast of the island of Oahu. West of the city is Pearl Harbour, American naval base. Its bombardment by Japanese in December, 1941 provoked the entering the war of the United States. The beach of Waikiki, lined with Hotels is famous. Behind the city rises mountain Kaolau. The academy of the Arts of Honolulu is situated in the South Beretania Street and presents a famous oriental, Hawaiian, European and American collection of art from all over the world. National Center of the Pacific situated inside the crater of Punchbowl above the centre of Honolulu, is the sanctuary of Americans, the men or women, who gave their life in the service of the Homeland. This place, beautiful and serene, is worth being visited. It turns out that one of the big centres of interest of the town was also the theater of an immense tragedy. Arizona Harbour Memorial of Pearl Harbour is the grave of 1102 privates and officers who died in the Japanese attack of December 7th, 1941. The enormous American battleship poured in 5 minutes after been touched, gobbling up with him most of the crew. It is Alfred Preis, the local architect, who was chosen to set up this white monument to the sharp and delicate lines, become a national mausoleum today.

HonoluluYou can visit the zoo of Waikiki, its aquarium or throw kites in its park Kapiolani. The waikiki Shell, among which the concerts of classical music, the jazz and the rock 'n' roll attract the crowds is behind the zoo. Sit down on the lawn of hillsides, satisfy hunger with a dinner sprayed a good wine and watch the moon getting up on Diamond Head while listening to a quality artist, here is certainly an original shape of entertainment that the island can offer . For something really different, try the flea market of Aloha Stadium at the end of week; it is the version, to Oahu, of an oriental general store. Go to see a football game to the university of the Hawaiian Islands in the same stadium. The atmosphere inside the stadium is not commonplace either because the local supporters try to impress their opponents by throwing them beatings of ti leaves.

We find old numerous admirable buildings in the heart of Honolulu of which C.Brewer high, rise at 827 Strong Street (built in 1930), which looks like much more a particular hotel than an administrative building, as well as the Alexander and Baldwin Building (built in 1929) in 822 Bishop Street. The visit of Honolulu would not be complete without a walk in the Chinese district which raises as a bastion of oriental tradition in the middle of the modernism maniac who surrounds it. If you go back up King Street the prosperous, northward the West you will be surprised with the sudden deterioration of the environment. Modern Honolulu takes airs of Hong-Kong with its inter lacings of dark and mysterious alleys, its dialect and its steams. Several historic buildings were restored and renewed and we are entitled to hope that a little of cleaning will fall of the vitality in this part of the city. Several organizations propose you daily walking through the town. The Bishop museum in 1135 Kalihi Street is one of the best museums to the world. Eternal monument dedicated to princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop. Its Hawaiian collection is particularly impressive. The museum also presents an interesting collection of Polynesian craft as well as an impressive library rich in collections dedicated to the Hawaiian and Polynesian history.
