Language Training Services

As a leading virtual language training service provider. GUARD's online language courses emphasize the use of language and provide a meaningful learning experience where languages are taught in contexts relevant to the learners.

GUARD's approach to language learning is rooted in the philosophy that language is a communication means to getting certain things done. Therefore, language learning programs should be learner-centered and task-oriented based on students' needs for the use of the language.

GUARD's language programs combine proven language learning concepts with a robust technology platform that make learning effective. GUARD's online language programs are characterized by:

Authenticity
