8 steps to effective English language courses
We teach with a communicative approach and a strong focus on individual needs. We believe in the importance of enhancing our learners’ motivation and developing their autonomy.
counter_1
Initial Testing: A Foundation for Effective Teaching
Entry assessments pinpoint both existing skills and areas for improvement, ensuring tailored instruction. We utilize TrackTest.eu, a globally recognized online platform, to assess language proficiency. Before any contract, we are more than willing to evaluate the results and analyze the language needs of your employee group.
counter_2
Group Formation, Scheduling, Lesson Planning, and Tutor Allocation
Drawing from the assessment results, we draft group divisions, design schedules respecting the client’s specifications, and propose tutors for each group. Preliminary lesson plans and tutor profiles are forwarded to the client for approval. Adjustments, be they student transfers, schedule tweaks, or tutor changes, are made per the client’s wishes.
counter_3
Test Lessons: A Proven Instrument for Boosting Student Motivation
Before the official course commencement, trial lessons help assess group dynamics and the synergy between the tutor and the group. These sessions revolve around discussing motivation, self-study practices, the tutor’s role, and fostering student independence. Our experience vouches that well-executed trial lessons solidify student goals and amplify their motivation, enhancing overall teaching efficacy.
counter_4
Collaborative Crafting of Study Plans
Aligned with client desires and student needs, tutors tailor the core study plans to ensure they resonate with and motivate the learners, consistently targeting set objectives.
counter_5
Student Feedback and Fine-tuning Schedule/Tutors
Open communication with students fortifies the teaching quality. We survey students on the relevance of trial lessons and their perception of tutors. Collected online, this feedback is shared with the client. Desired alterations are promptly implemented, typically within a five-day window. Such feedback loops are activated multiple times during the course’s duration.
counter_6
Course Oversight and Teaching Quality Assurance
All lessons are methodically orchestrated by our tutors, who bear in mind student needs and preferences. Lessons strictly adhere to approved plans and are documented in our administrative system. This aids in supervising the teaching process and evaluating tutor performance against end-of-course objectives.
counter_7
Personalized Feedback and Periodic Assessment after 100-120 Teaching Hours
We prioritize frequent personalized feedback to students. TrackTest.eu, our chosen online tool, objectively gauges student advancement. Scheduled evaluations are an integral part of the study plan, with progress updates accessible on our online platform.
counter_8
Final Evaluation, Comprehensive Reporting, and Certification
Summing up the course, we provide a detailed report encompassing test scores, tutor feedback, attendance records, and feedback from both students and clients. The report’s exact format is tailored to client preferences. Upon request, we can also issue internationally recognized certificates to students.
