OISE Oxford

Welcome to
OISE Oxford

A centre of academic excellence and architectural brilliance, Oxford is the ideal location to perfect the English language. Browse the world famous bookshops nestling in its narrow streets, have lunch in one of the city’s stylish restaurants or soak up the atmosphere in one of the historic pubs.
Located in the cobbled heart of this extraordinary city, OISE Oxford blends traditional features with a smart, modern design; combines original oak beams with state-of-the-art flat screen PCs.

OISE was founded in Oxford in 1973. The success of a course is dependent on the community of purpose that stems from the ambitions and drive of every single participant. This strong conviction has always led OISE to appeal to the more motivated students who will feed off each other and establish a serious study environment. All the participants are coached to target a level of eloquence in English that exceeds their own expectations.

Choosing Your Course

Teachers are chosen for their personal qualities and their ability both to engage the participants and to facilitate the language learning process. They are trained to focus on the needs and weaknesses of their learner and to plan the structure and content of the lessons accordingly. The students therefore always receive tuition that is relevant and based on what they actually need to learn. You will be able to express thoughts, ideas, opinions confidently and fluently

Why Choose OISE?

01.

OISE’s pedagogy gives the students a fresh look at their established language learning beliefs. Rather than persevering with the acquisition of the core knowledge of the language, the elaborate suite of modules on an OISE course provides the students with a strategy to manipulate the language, whatever the live communicative situation (presentation, negotiation or social interaction) be it in a business or an academic context.

02.

Delivering The Tutorial lesson, a teaching tradition of Oxford University, is one of the most effective methods of education.

03.

The entire course is conducted by means of individual tuition thus allowing the lessons to be adapted to the precise level and goals of each participant. The overriding objective is to give the learner sufficient confidence never to be at a disadvantage among other English speakers.

Choosing Your Accommodation

Homestay accommodation

OISE has a policy of never allowing two students of the same mother tongue to stay in any one homestay. All students have a single room. Each host family is selected and monitored according to strict criteria laid down by OISE. Houses must be comfortable, the hosts welcoming and, above all, genuinely interested in receiving students and helping them to develop fluency in the English language.
