Über Wisconsin English Second Language Institute (WESLI )
WESLI has been training teacher since 1999 and General English since 1981. You can find us in downtown Madison, Wisconsin – just across the street from the state capitol building. Madison, located in the heart of the mid-west, is a medium-sized city, which is friendly, very safe and inexpensive to live in. There are a number of universities in town, for example the internationally top-ranked University of Wisconsin Madison. Students can choose to stay with homestay families or in our Dormitory.
Many of our staff and teachers have been with us at WESLI for more than 15 years and most of our administrative staff members also teach or have done so in the past. That way students can be sure to always have a helping hand from someone with a passion for helping students and the experience to do so.
We offer 7 levels (zero level to University Bridge) of English instruction in the areas of Business English, General English & American Culture, Test Prep. and Academic Preparation. Over 40 universities and colleges accept our students without a TOEFL score. Students are welcome to study for any length of time and we are very proud to offer a 5-week Teacher Training Program, including a 30-hour Practicum.

WESLI has partnered with the University of Wisconsin College System to offer three- credit college classes at WESLI. This is a great opportunity for WESLI students to earn college credit while still studying at WESLI. These credits can be transferred to UW schools and count towards a student’s general education requirements, no matter what major they choose.

studierte Englisch Akademische VorbereitungWonderful ESL School
WESLI prepared me for my life in the US. Well experienced and passionate teachers with unique back grounds taught me not only English, but also life. I went to the US with not knowing the language or about life right after high school in Japan. But I never felt lonely because of people around me. Of course friends but also teachers made me comfortable. They taught us English, hung out with us, and invited us for dinner. Interaction with teachers made me comfortable and motivated to learn English. With that I was able to finished 700 course in WESLI in 2005, got a letter of recommendation to University of Wisconsin Whitewater, graduated with BA in Social Work, went back to Japan working at the duty free shop in Tokyo international airport, did internship in Japanese NGO in the Philippines supporting children in need, and now I am a project coordinator in the Japanese NGO in the Philippines. I would like to thank WESLI for everything that they offered us because without WESLI, I would not be able to find what I like to do in my life. I really like WESLI, so I recommended 2 Japanese friends to go to WESLI, they went and enjoyed studying there. So if you ask me where to study English, my answer will always be "WESLI." They have more activities now so I would have given 5 hearts if I am there now ;) If you are looking for an ESL, do not even think twice, just apply for WESLI ;)

WESLI its my home in Madison because I have not felt I left my family during my time when I was at WESLI. You could find quality of education in anywhere but what a special about WESLI the environment they provide it for you so you will go through experience you will never forget in your entire life and I am sure you will be always tell stories to your family, friends, and children or your grandchildren in your future about your memories over there. WESLI has a lot of impacted on my life not by just learning English but by opening my mined and let me interact with many people from all over the world and taught me that we are human no matter where we come from. I miss the classes I took outside in the yard of the capital of Wisconsin and the activities that we had in James Madison Park. I miss the days when I met my friends and teachers in the Farmer market in every weekend and eat the hot & spicy cheese bread which I will suggest to anyone are willing to live in Madison. I miss my spiritual mother Sue Manners who always close from me and all the students and always provide help no matter the situations you are in. I have many things to tell about WESLI but I don't want to burn how the life look like there by telling you everything so go there and get the experience I had and I am positive you will never regret that ;)
Sincerely,

studierte Englisch Lehrer TrainingMy Better Life Can\'t without WESLI
WESLI is the perfect and ideal destination for English learners; take me for an example, I started from the very beginning level and all the way to English Teacher Training. Of course, nothing was easy for me to go through all of the courses; I eventually did with the teachers' help and all my efforts. I'm now teaching English and having my own English school in Taiwan. In short, trust WESLI and yourself; if you want it, you can do it with WESLI. By the way, my starting year at WESLI is from 2004 to 2006. The earliest start year in the drop-down box here is 2006. Anyway, I can't thank WESLI enough! :D
