The communicative approach is integrated with task based learning.
MODULES
Programme Curriculum
The Weekly General English module encompasses the study of listening, speaking, and reading skills, as well as grammar and vocabulary. It aims to place participants at an adequate proficiency threshold to begin receiving instruction in more complex language skills (i.e. Social, Business and Academic English skills).
Speaking
A large part of the classes will focus on communicative teaching. Participants will be expected to participate in conversations with a partner or as part of a group. Participants will learn a variety of functional language to assist them with everyday conversation. Speaking will also focus on pronunciation, fluency and accuracy.
Listening
Listening skills will be developed through the use of authentic material from CDs and the internet. Participants will be able to practise listening to different accents, develop and adopt different techniques to aid comprehension.
Reading
Reading skills development will focus on improving reading speed, understanding larger texts on a variety of subjects, identifying different styles of text.
