Methods

You may have experienced that it is difficult to settle on one specific method behind various teaching approaches. In order to overcome this gap, we have come up, after a thorough series of researches on the issue, with a set of basics principles and foundations on which you can orientate and easily adapt:

Communication and Interaction

Simply stated, a good teacher ought to deliver the lesson and involve the class in group discussions.

Furthermore, he or she is a good and patient listener and supports individual contributions.


Moreover, our teachers use audio and video material, such as newspaper articles, to sharpen your understanding ability and inform you on the cultural background of a particular country.

Small Groups

Scientific research on group communication reveals that individuals are most efficient when part of a group of 4 to 8 members. Our groups contain 6 people on average, in order to give the opportunity to apply your new skills and intervene in class activities as often as possible.

Individual Approach

Our small group approach affords the benefit to deal with each student individually. No matter where your strengths reside, whether in reading, listening, speaking or presenting, we give you enough time and support to elaborate your strengths and to eradicate the weaker areas.

Regular Assessment and Feedback

When learning a new language, it’s essential to know where you stand. Although the CEFR-model gives you an official evaluation of your level, you’ll probably want to know how you are progressing throughout your course. 
Your teachers will guide you through with regular feedback and small tests to show you your improvements and weaknesses.
