Teaching Approach

Speaking

  • Vocabulary, Grammar & Pronunciation are mainly practiced through interviews where students answer the teacher’s questions using new vocabulary & grammar right away
  • The method encourages learning in lexical chunks, rather than on a word-by-word basis
  • Just try to answer questions the way you have understood them. If you make a mistake, your teacher will correct & assist you

Reading & Listening

  • Texts, videos & audio contain the same vocabulary and grammar which are trained and strengthened while learners answer teacher's questions for their practice & activation
  • All activities are logically connected. Lots of connections make it very easy for your brain to “see” the word you want to recall when you are trying to remember it
  • Discussions of articles, videos and audio develop the ability to express your thoughts in English fluently & accurately, to ask questions

Grammar & Vocabulary Exercises

  • The main feature of our teaching method is a Complex of questions, videos, exercises, dictations, texts & audio tracks which are joined together and directed at providing students with the ability to comprehend & speak real-life English
  • This complex was built in such a way that all necessary words and grammar can be easily and quickly mastered and remembered

Visualization - realistic & experiential

  • Each lesson always starts with the revision: we activate vocabulary and grammar learned during the previous class
  • As soon as one Unit (10 lessons) is finished, we do Unit Revision. Finally, when the whole level is over, we get down to the effectively designed Complex Revision
  • All these Revision Blocks work together to draw everything you learn in your long-term memory, and to promote, maximize & automate all your English speaking skills

Will I be studying Grammar?
  • Grammar is often perceived as being something abstract and difficult. While it is possible to create such an impression, grammar is just something that we use every day whenever we speak or write. When we have thoughts that we want to articulate in spoken or written form, we use vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation systems to encode our ideas so that others will understand them.
  • The aim of studying grammar has to be focused on the message and effective  communication, and not on memorizing grammatical rules. Therefore, yes – you will be working on grammar. At the same time, we do not just learn the rules and do grammar exercises, but draw grammar into speech as much as possible. We use only the most modern internationally recognized approaches to present and practice grammar!

Forget the phrase, “Sorry, I didn’t prepare my homework for today. I’ll learn this for the next lesson, don’t ask me now plz…” We understand that a modern person is constantly in a hurry, so you learn mainly during the lessons. You must study here and now! The techniques we use allow to significantly reduce homework. At the same time, you get balanced home assignments – feel like you accomplished something superbly effective. However, if you don’t have time for doing homework, do not worry – this is not a requirement!
