Our ONE-TO-ONE ENGLISH FOR YOUNG PEOPLE COURSE
is for young people aged from 16 to 19 years approximately who
have their own particular language needs and usually prefer to be in the
company of younger people. Teachers and families for these courses are
normally young people themselves with particular expertise and qualifications
for teaching at this level and caring for younger students. Where possible,
we always try to place our young students with teachers who have children
of similar ages to the student.
Lessons are presented and delivered in an appropriate and friendly manner
with the best interests of the student in mind. Our teachers understand
the needs of this group very well and are most aware of the best teaching
methods to bring out the best in every young student while making the
whole experience an enjoyable one for all concerned.
With the knowledge that our students will be at secondary
or early university level there will be a mix of skills and activities
and, of course, every course will be different according to individual
needs. Emphasis will be on a balance of activities to ensure that those
areas of language that need improvement will receive attention. There
will be speaking practice and listening activities,
good use of grammar, vocabulary development, pronunciation and appropriate
reading and writing practice. Advice
in relation to study skills will also be offered. Constant feedback and
mentoring will feature and the teacher will offer all the assistance and
encouragement needed to allow for maximum progress
After lessons there will be an opportunity to engage in some activities
such as visits to the city, swimming, and other appropriate activities.
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!
