Our ONE-TO-ONE ENGLISH FOR SPECIAL PURPOSES (ESP)
COURSE will appeal to those who wish to study for a specific objective,
such as preparing for a university course, writing a policy document,
job interview, or to focus intensively on one or two language skills,
for example academic writing and reading skills. This course is suitable
for those with a specific purpose in mind which requires improvement in
one or more of the language skills and is quite specialised unlike our
general and professional courses.
ESP courses are different from general English courses in that the words
and sentences learned, the subject matter discussed, all relate to a particular
field or discipline, for example, a diplomat preparing a policy paper.
The course makes use of vocabulary and tasks related to the field such
as negotiation skills and effective techniques for oral presentations.
As with all our courses, your specific needs will be identified and prioritised
in the first lesson and the course will be designed to meet these needs.
Our one-to-one method allows for continuous monitoring of progress and
meeting evolving language needs so you can rest assured that your teacher
will be flexible to ensure your course is relevant to your needs.
The ultimate objective for taking an ESP course with us is to increase
your skill and confidence in using English for a stated and clearly identifiable
specific purpose.
Information on all courses
Every course involves some work on pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary,
speaking, listening, reading and writing. In your language needs analysis
you will discuss the approximate amount of time you would like to spend
on the various language areas. Your teacher will of course give you professional
advice but your wishes are always respected and taken into account in
every course! Therefore the content and direction of your course is planned
with you and only you in mind.
Lessons for all courses are 60 minutes each with a 10 minute rest period
and take place in the morning and early afternoon depending on the number
of lessons you have booked. The exact schedule will be discussed and agreed
with your teacher on the first morning however it is usual to have the
majority, if not all, of the lessons completed in the morning. This schedule
will enable you to maximise your free time to explore the city and surrounding
area.
There will be a certain amount of homework assigned each day connected
to the language covered. This provides a chance for valuable practice
of what you have learned and allows your teacher to monitor your progress.
The amount of homework assigned is agreed with you and should take no
more than an hour or so to complete.
On the final day of your course there will be an opportunity for feedback
and your teacher will recommend a strategy for future study when you return
home. We invite you to keep in touch with us and your teacher as we are
interested in your progress and of course hope to see you back at some
time in the future!
