How much can you learn?

Our learning package

Through the years, EF has relentlessly focused on perfecting the faster way to learn a language. Combining both research and experience we have created an innovative language learning package, the Efekta™ System that allows students to learn all the time.

How will you benefit from the Efekta™ System?

The Efekta™ System is designed to give you flexibility and variety in how you learn. You learn more in class because more time is spent speaking through communicative lessons and group projects. Then you reinforce your learning with innovative language lab (iLab) modules, which are assigned by your teacher to complement your classroom learning. Synchronized with your face-to-face lessons, the iLab allows you to focus on your exact needs – you study what you need most.

Optimized Efekta™ iLab tutorials

Your teacher will assign tutorials and optional modules for you to complete in our innovative language lab (iLab). These online exercises are synchronized with both your EF textbook units and your face-to-face classroom topics. All Intensive, General and Exam courses include structured iLab self study, allowing you to efficiently focus on the areas you need most. Work on pronunciation, accent reduction, or listening comprehension. You don’t even have to wait until you are at your EF school to benefit from our exciting iLab tools.

Engaging EF teachers at the heart of Efekta™

We know the difference a great teacher makes in language learning. All EF teachers are fully initiated in the Efekta™ System and have many years of experience. But what really sets EF teachers apart is that they are hand-selected for their personality, dedication and enthusiasm when it comes to your progress.

Guaranteed progress – or you study for free

We’re so confident that you’ll learn faster with our Efekta™ System that we actually guarantee that you will advance one level every six weeks (or 12 weeks for higher levels). If you don’t, you will study for free until you do.
