Course Structure

The programme includes the following types of activities:
Communicative activities
We use a variety of fun, interactive communicative activities to enable the students to practise and consolidate structures and language which they have already covered at school.
Fluency Practice
Fluency practice gives students the opportunity to express their own thoughts and opinions in English. This type of activity is very effective in improving linguistic confidence.
Natural English: vocabulary building and extension
We introduce the students to (non-slang) English expressions which are rarely found in text books, but which are commonly used in everyday communication between native speakers.
Pronunciation
We look at the aspects of pronunciation which your pupils find difficult.
Role play
Role plays enables pupils to practise the language they have learnt in a contextual setting. The role plays are relevant to the pupils’ interests as well as their linguistic needs.
Project Lesson
The students work together in small groups to work on projects of their choice, for example a school magazine or a guide to their town or city. The language of communication is English, and on the final day the pupils will have the opportunity to present the results to their classmates and teachers.
