Our methodology
We aim for a close student-teacher relationship in our customised classes so that pupils feel comfortable and confident enough to push themselves and make the most of the personalised attention they receive individually or in a small group. This strong connection will help students reach their targets sooner.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
We prioritise communication skills on all our ‘Made For You’ courses so that students practise speaking and listening directly in the target language as much as possible, training their ear to native accents and learning correct pronunciation from their teacher.
We encourage students to engage in speaking activities and discussions as much as possible on a range of relevant topics with their teacher or in their bespoke groups. They will listen to and watch both formal and informal recordings and videos to improve their skills and practise either the grammar and vocabulary or the technical language appropriate to their level and subject.
GRAMMAR APPROACH
Our approach to teaching grammar is to break down each point and make it universally comprehensible without overwhelming or boring our students. We explain vocabulary by using clear lists, definitions and examples, with practical and fun exercises to test pupils’ assimilation.
READING COMPREHENSION AND WRITTEN EXPRESSION
Reading tasks will further check this assimilation, and students will complete exercises to assess their comprehension of the text, discussing it orally in more detail.
Written expression practises pupils’ usage of grammar, vocabulary, correct register and ability to communicate with ease. It will be mainly set for homework, and our teachers will explain how to organise texts in class, giving students a variety of examples and templates they can base their work on.
LEVEL TEST
Depending on their particular objectives and requests, pupils will have to take a test at the beginning of their ‘Made For You’ course (including an oral assessment) if they have some prior knowledge of the language. This is to place them in the correct level according to their ability, and to make sure that students in made-to-measure groups have the same level.
