Progress driven programmes
Our courses are aimed at developing students
knowledge, skills and confidence through intensive
programmes to ensure maximum progress and results.
We offer our students a challenging and dynamic
environment with the support of professional and
experienced teachers. Our courses include:
Language skills lessons to develop language
competency:
Each lesson is designed to concentrate on developing
one of the four key skills of speaking, listening, reading
and writing to practise and produce new language.
These lessons enable students to speak and write more
accurately and become more effective communicators.
Students enhance their grammar and vocabulary
knowledge through a wide variety of practice activities
and input. These sessions use a range of materials to
stimulate and challenge students and prepare them for
using English in the communication skills workshops
and beyond.
Communication skills lessons to build
confidence and fluency:
Plenary Sessions
Designed to bring the students together at the start
and the end of the school day. The morning plenary
acts as a warm-up session, with presentations on
topical news items. The afternoon plenary gives
students an opportunity to reflect on the learning
experience from their day.
Spoken Performance Workshop
Under the teachers guidance, students are set tasks
which challenge them to develop their speaking
skills across a range of different everyday situations
and promote active expression in the language.
There is a focus on pronunciation, presentations
and debates.
Team Project
Each week, students work within small teams
to produce and deliver a project that gives
them real-life practice in presenting and formal
writing. Students also develop problem solving,
collaboration, organisation and planning skills.
Masterclass
Each week the teacher sets individual goals for
the students based on their specific language
needs. With teacher guidance, students work
independently to achieve their learning goals.
Progress driven
For career preparation and professional development
The Octorial Programme
The combination of language lessons and communication
lessons enables students to develop their confidence, skills
and fluency.
Language skills lessons for purpose-designed grammar
exercises, interactive and dynamic oral practice sessions to
encourage the expression of ideas and opinions, listening
exercises using authentic texts and materials for the
development of comprehension skills and writing tasks in
a range of styles and registers.
The collaboration and project-management tasks of the
communication skills lessons build fluency and confidence.
Every day in Masterclass the student works on their
personal needs under the guidance of their tutor.
