Locating information on English language schools in the United States on the Internet has become relatively easy. There are three main types of Web sites for you to look at:

  • English language programs' own Web sites;
  • the Web sites of professional associations and accrediting bodies, which list their member programs;
  • commercial sites that list language training programs. These sites include institutions that have paid fees to have their sites listed and to have their Web sites linked to the site.

Below is a selection of different types of Web sites, all with useful information on English language programs.
