Guideline to the Study of English

English for Children

We use course books in the classroom. We use the most popular course books internationally for English as second language tuition and the syllabus is excellent.

From time to time teachers will use photocopies from other books to supplement the learning of students.

Students have many opportunities to talk and lessons are very interactive. They will also learn an enormous amount of vocabulary and grammar.

Due to the age of students teachers also use educational games and activities in the class to stimulate the minds and learning of children.

We try as much as possible to mix the nationalities so we do not have too many of the same nationalities in one class and children communicate with other children in English.

Projects

The projects children work on will be based on the theme of the week. For example a week with a theme of ‘The media’ will give children the opportunity to create a newspaper in English or a magazine or a radio or television show in English. Children typically work in groups for their projects which gives them the opportunity to communicate in English with other students in the class and make friends.

Teachers

We recruit native English speaking teachers who are qualified to teach English as a second language. Many of these teachers already have considerable experience teaching children English.
