Grammar Practice: Students practice their grammar to build a solid foundation for their future writing.
Role Play: Students can learn to improvise through conversations they have in class. Students will build a foundation of grammatical concepts necessary to articulate with fluency in practical situations.
Our Pedagogy
Concept Check: We continuously use concept checking questions in our teaching approach to ensure students comprehend the context being taught.
Repetitious Grammar Structure: Throughout our course, we will continually use and repeat similar English sentence structures repeatedly through different forms to ensure students are subconsciously familiarizing themselves with the intended structures.
Speak Naturally: Ample time is spent during lessons on various speaking activities. The goal is to have students speaking naturally.
