You
are tested on your progress every Friday and interviewed by your
class teacher at the end of your first week, and then every two weeks
to make sure that your individual needs are being met.
During
the mornings you will study General English. A typical day at school
starts with essential work on grammar and provides practice in the skills
of speaking, listening, reading and writing. There is regular pronunciation
work in class and in the language laboratory. Each class follows a recently
published course book which your teacher will supplement with his/her
own materials and adapt to the individual needs of the class.
In
the afternoons you have the opportunity to concentrate on examination
preparation and you are able to pursue your own English
language interests and requirements through the
electives programme.
On your first day, you will have an entry test and an interview so that
we can place you in a class at the right level for you. There are 6
levels with 2 or 3 grades at each level. There are students from around
30 different countries studying in our school at any one time, so we are
able to ensure that every class has a good balance of different nationalities.
