English Study Tours was created by a group of talented ESL instructors who recognized, after years of teaching, that ESL students were learning English faster when they participated in task-oriented exercises in real life situations with real native speakers. The English Study Tours class model is a model for the future of language training, and many well-known schools around the world are now recognizing that this approach to language acquisition is essential.

At English Study Tours, level 1 through level 8 students have very good opportunities to improve their listening, speaking, writing, and conversational fluency, while developing a strong English foundation for further preparation work in TOEIC, TOEFL, IELTS, and Cambridge training in other educational environments.

At English Study Tours, students typically begin their class term on the island of Maui, or the Big Island of Hawaii, where they participate in an orientation session and then begin classes. Morning classes begin at 8:30am, and by midmorning the students are on their way to the top of Haleakala mountain, or off to Lahaina town where they will not only experience the breathtaking beauty of Hawaii, they will experience English. 'English Stops' (short classes) throughout the activity day serve to focus the student and clarify grammar, vocabulary, sentence structure, and reading and writing questions that arise during task-based English practice with real native speakers.

The activities are an important part of the regular class day. The reason for this design is to give the student the kind of English practice that they do not get in ordinary ESL classrooms. Throughout the activity for the day, the student has opportunities to actually practice communicating with real native speakers in real situations, a valuable component to any language-learning environment. Students also keep a written, photographic, and audio (through the use of small pocket digital recorders) journal of their daily experiences.
