English as a Foreign Language

Innovative Courses for Adult Learners

Learning a foreign language as an adult is very different from learning it as a child and requires a very different approach and techniques which will help the adult acquire language much FASTER!!!

Learning English should, thus, help learners with their immediate communicative needs and train them to become efficient communicators in order to take on and play the roles they wish within the community. Stale grammar teaching, or rote learning are far from the best course of action, particularly for the adult learner who has no time to wait and needs quick results.

APPROACH & METHODOLOGY

Some of the principles which form the basis for the course design and the methodology used are as follows:
 

Our approach is designed to satisfy  immediate communicative needs and promote oral fluency
Language is best learnt through interaction and experience - so is grammar
Adults learn faster than children - our programmes are shorter and much more comprehensive
Authentic materials are used extensively - both for Listening & Reading skills development
Our syllabus is flexible allowing individuals to develop in areas of individual interest and/or concern
The materials and activities are motivating - adults come to their language classes at the end of a long day at work and need to be relaxed and motivated
Materials and activities reflect adult reality - our students put what they learn to practice immediately
