Communicative English for School Staff

We make learning English fun and effective. All year around, students study and socialise with us. But best of all, we enjoy the experience together.

This intensive program is designed to elevate your overall English proficiency, serving as a robust foundation for your effective communication and any official examinations you may pursue. While we strongly recommend a minimum A2 level, participants of all starting levels are welcome to embark on this language-enhancing journey.

Our dedicated team of teachers is committed to guiding you on this path and providing the essential tools to be fluent in English. The primary focus will be on developing your oral skills, recognizing that these are often the most challenging for students. The course brings together diverse groups of individuals, spanning different ages, nationalities, and professional backgrounds, creating the perfect environment for honing both comprehension and production in oral competences.

Written competences will also be a significant component of the course. We will equip you with valuable tips to refine your production skills and enhance your comprehension using authentic documents such as official e-mails, newspapers, magazines, and brochures.

While a standard indicative daily program is in place, the course is flexible and can be personalized each week based on the participants’ needs, as determined through an initial English proficiency test.

Here’s an overview of the key components

Collaborative Learning
The course emphasizes working in pairs and groups, recognizing the collaborative nature of effective communication. Through group discussions, pair activities, and collaborative projects, participants enhance their communication skills while learning from each other’s diverse perspectives.

Simulations
Real-life communication situations are simulated within the classroom setting, allowing participants to practice and apply their language skills in a controlled environment. Simulations cover various scenarios, preparing participants for a range of practical situations they might encounter in English-speaking environments.

Networking and Outdoor Activities
Networking opportunities extend beyond the classroom, with organized outdoor activities designed to immerse participants in real-life English communication.

A central pillar of the course is the development of oral skills. Participants practice speaking individually, in pairs, and in small groups, mirroring real communication scenarios.
