Methodology

Our methods and approach apply to all General English and exam preparation courses. In the case of the One-to-One Course a detailed needs analysis is carried out beforehand in order to assess the student needs. This can be done orally or in writting. The programme of the course is adopted to match individual requirements.

Student-centred teaching is recognised as the most effective way to learn languages. The Director of Studies guides all teachers in focussing on each individual’s language needs. Teaching includes all aspects of the English language such as grammar, functions, phonology and vocabulary. We use interesting classroom activities carried out through pair and group work to encourage interaction and to motivate students. Our friendly staff enjoy a very good relationship with the students, creating the optimum environment for learning.

Our staff offer guidance and support to all our students from the moment they enquire about the courses until they complete their studies.
