About course

In the online course, young learners aged 13-14 do not learn English by memorising grammar and vocabulary. We believe that learning by exploring is much more effective. Through exploring and discussing inspiring content, young learners acquire language skills easily and enjoyably. In the course we therefore use the proven CLIL method (Content and Language Integrated Learning), where students learn a foreign language through interesting topics from different areas - nature, technology, science. They acquire a varied vocabulary and the ability to communicate on a wide range of topics without fear of making mistakes. Lessons are dedicated to improving all language skills - reading, writing, speaking and listening.

Packed with interesting topics, the lessons will motivate young learners, laying the foundations for good information handling, which they will use in their further education. They will strengthen skills such as the ability to argue, debate and think critically. They will begin to systematically build an identity in English that will enable them to perform well in their further studies and later in the labour market. Thanks to the Task-based Learning method, we will also develop young people's ability to work in teams.

We divide students into groups depending on their language ability and level (Pre Intermediate-Intermediate-Upper Intermediate). We will arrange the grouping at the first lesson, each student will be placed in a way that suits his/her level of the course. In this course we use CLIL World Natural & Social Sciences 4 or CLIL World Natural & Social Sciences 5 textbooks, chosen specifically with the needs of the level group in mind by our tutors.

Who is the course for

For young students who, towards the end of their primary school studies, are not satisfied with their school English and would like to spend more time on it to develop all their language skills - reading, writing, speaking and listening. And learn new things about themselves and the world in the process.

Lecturers/trainers

Colin Kelly

Colin was born and raised in a small village in Cavan, an agricultural region in the north midlands of Ireland. His province shares a boarder with Northern Ireland and is well known for its 365 lakes and their fishing, as well as its people, infamous in Ireland for being stingy with their money, but he’ll tell you more about that when you’re buying him a coffee!

Since graduating from university in 2015 he’s been working as an English language teacher, a job which has given him opportunities to work in places like Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, England, Spain and now Slovakia.

In his free time he loves reading, but when he´s not reading, he’s moving. He loves skateboarding, rock climbing and various forms of martial arts, as well as taking quiet strolls in nature.

Over the years of teaching, he´s learned that each student is incalculably different, even with similar social backgrounds, professions or abilities. Careful attention must be paid to each student’s strengths, weaknesses, language goals and interests. Once identified, he will aim to bring them into harmony using various teaching methodologies, content and tools.

Our classes are fun, we are not bored and it's not like at school. We talk, we play, we even draw sometimes, and that's how we learn.
