Individual programmes
All our courses are tailored to the specific requirements of our clients. Each individual programme is carefully designed to meet your linguistic and professional needs. Please see the examples at the base of this page. Candidates who are complete beginners will be offered a demonstration lesson, and those who already have some experience in the language that they wish to develop will be assessed before the course starts.
Specific
objectives
Programmes will be based on specific objectives and on the
result of the needs analysis which is discussed with the individual or the group
before the course starts.
Developing
skills
A variety of language skills are developed during your course
according to your level and needs. These programmes may include revision and extension
of new structures, as well as developing work-related vocabulary. A typical beginner’s
programme will focus on developing your aural social language skills and some
basic work-related vocabulary as well.
Realistic
targets
A copy of the programme will be handed out to each individual
learner at the beginning of the course. We will always set realistic targets
according to the length of the course and the individual’s and group's ability
to learn.
