Many adults can feel vulnerable speaking a language which isn't their mother-tongue. These sessions are designed to overcome this and to replace fear of speaking with excitement about speaking English. Small Group Classes You will work for much of the time in a small class with a group at your level. The class size is 4 to 9. You will meet a variety of teachers each with their own teaching style. There will be a lot of discussion, a lot of new vocabulary, and a lot of grammar. The emphasis is always on communication. We use a wide range of techniques and materials. Classes are motivating, student-centred, and fun. One To One Sessions There are weekly one to one tutorials with a teacher. This is a time to design a personal study plan, to set learning targets and for individual coaching. There are also times throughout the week, for example during meals or out on a walk, when students will have individual attention from a teacher. Guided Study Sessions During guided study we will introduce students to fundamental ideas in NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), giving them exciting and practical ways of learning language. This session is also used for allocating resources for independent study and for monitoring individual progress. Resources available include dictionaries, grammar books, readers with CDs, intensive/extensive listening, pronunciation and vocabulary material, on-line material, newspapers and magazines, business English and exam material. Small Group Activity Sessions These include:
