Methodology
Our teachers use Communicative approach to teaching which means that students acquire the skills through interaction in the target language. Accent is put on functional/usable vocabulary and grammar patterns. Classes emphasize oral and listening skills. Contact time with the language is all-important – it paves way for better command of it. Not just hearing the teacher, but having personal contact with the language, practicing sounds themselves, formulating sentence patterns and getting a chance to make mistakes and learn from doing so helps students master English.
