How Transferring to Nomen Global can offer greater value than neighboring ESL schools

Introduction

At Nomen Global, we believe quality education goes beyond great teachers and textbooks. We’re results-driven, investing heavily in a curriculum designed to not only teach English but also prepare students to be world-ready university students and professionals. With flexible bi-weekly enrollment, theme-based cultural courses, and personalized objectives, our program is crafted for success. Our trademarked Advanced Modular ESL Curriculum is tailored to meet the diverse needs of international students. Smaller class sizes, individualized attention, and a focus on real-world skills ensure that students leave not just with stronger English, but with the confidence and tools to excel in academic or professional settings.

Nomen Global's Collaboration with BakPak Later This Year

Later this year, at Nomen Global, we will use a coming platform BakPak as our LMS, to allow our students, who are enrolled in our in-person classes to access our Advanced Modular Curriculum. Independently, once available, BakPak will also offer online ESL learning for students outside the United States. BakPak will offer a variety of English courses tailored to the needs and proficiency levels of both businesses seeking educational benefits as well as individuals looking to advance their careers. Once available, affordable courses through BakPak English, will provide accessibility for anyone wanting to improve their English skills. The General English course will help learners build a strong foundation in grammar, vocabulary, and communication, while also offering increased access to teachers for more personalized support.

Initial Contact

Reach out to our admissions office to discuss your academic goals and how to maintain your F-1 status.

Application Process

Complete the required application form with the help of an admissions team member and submit your official transcripts from your previous institution.

I-20 Transfer

Request your current Designated School Official (DSO) to initiate the I-20 transfer process. Our DSO will work with your previous school to ensure a smooth transfer.

Upon arrival in the Provo-Orem area, report to our International Student Office, attend orientation on the Friday before your first class, make your first payment, and take our placement test.

By following these steps, you can confidently transfer to Nomen Global and continue your academic journey.

Reason to Transfer 1: Our Flexible Bi-Weekly Enrollment​

Nomen Global's unique bi-weekly enrollment allows you to learn English at your own pace. Our curriculum is structured into eight self-contained modules, or "blocks," each lasting two weeks, offering you the flexibility to:

• Start any time: Your student-specific semester begins whenever it is most convenient for you to start your intensive English language program. We have availability every two weeks so you’ll never have to wait long!

• Learn without comparison: because our students are each at unique stages in their ESL journey they are better equipped to learn from each other as a result. All of our students have been where you are now.

• Meet immigration requirements: We help you tailor your American English learning to your specific Student Visa requirements. Once you are enrolled and attending classes there is no need to worry about falling out of F-1 status—you will always get the help you need.

Reason to Transfer 2: Language Proficiency Scale (LPS)

The LPS helps assess your current English skills using two well-known scales: the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) and the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL). These scales were used to create an American English proficiency scale specifically for ESL students. This ensures:

Classrooms with similar English levels

You’ll be placed in a class with peers who have a similar level of English proficiency, making learning more efficient and supportive as you progress together in a comfortable environment.

LPS Evaluation

Upon arriving at Nomen Global, you’ll take a standardized placement test to determine your current English level. You can opt to start at a lower level if needed to fill in any gaps in your knowledge, but understanding your proficiency level is essential for your progress.

Reason to Transfer 3: You Have Straightforward Learning Objectives

At Nomen Global, each course has clear, specific objectives that are broken down into individual lesson goals. This ensures:

Daily focus on achievable ESL tasks

Each class session provides a clear understanding of what you’re expected to learn and how the activities contribute to developing your skills.

Measurable progress

Daily self-assessments help you track your learning and visualize your advancement toward the course's overall objectives.

Visible value

Knowing that you’re steadily working toward your goals gives you confidence and reassurance as you invest in your education.

Reason to Transfer 4: You Obtain Transferable Work Skills

As you work to learn American English, we also help you build your strength in the top 10 skills that US universities and employers look for including: collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, interpersonal communication, listening, oral communication, problem solving, reading comprehension, writing and speaking English accurately, and Written communication. By building these skills you will become:

• World ready: being "world-ready" goes beyond simply learning another language. It signifies a comprehensive development of knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world. Nomen Global subscribes to ACTFL’s World Readiness Standards.

• USA Ready: Developing these skills prepares you for future education and career opportunities in the United States. We want to help you succeed long after you have mastered English by helping you understand what US employers and educators will expect from you.

Reason to Transfer 5: We Teach a Thematic Approach

Each student’s semester is divided into 8 unique American culture themes. The themes cover a range of topics and traditions that will contextualize the student’s English learning. This creates:

Cultural competency

You will be more effective in communicating with native English speakers when you understand their culture. 

Correlated Classes

Your classes like Grammar, Integrated Skills, Practical English Workshops, and others have connecting grammar and culture principles connected throughout to give you a complete learning experience.

Increased Sense of Community

Even though everyone is learning different things (like prepositional phrases or adjectival clauses) in their different levels, the student body is still connected! Everyone learns about the same cultural themes, which helps you make friends and feel like part of a strong community.

Continuous Growth

As you move to a new level, you'll see some familiar cultural topics! We explore the same topics at each level using new vocabulary and grammar. This way, you keep growing and deepening your English skills!

Conclusion: Cognitive Maps

We use visual aids to explore how to  approach mental concepts like cause and effect, definition, classification, sequence of events, compare and contrast, and others. This helps students from a variety of different cultures understand  new thought processes and communicate more effectively and persuasively with native English speakers. We target students who not only merely want to learn basic English, we strive to help you reach your

goals for the future and become 'world ready'!
