About our English Courses

ENGLISH COURSES FOR STUDENTS

If you like our courses "tell your friends"; if you don't like our courses "tell us"!

Our aim is to always design and teach courses that

our students will enjoy

will meet our students' needs
will help our students to reach their goals quickly and effectively.

We want all our students to enjoy their learning experience at English language house and to feel more confident about their English at the end of their course. Our students' achievements are our achievements and our priority will always be to teach lessons that will target our students' individual language needs and help them reach their English language goals during the time they spend learning English with us.

We don't believe that "one size fits all" !

Therefore we ask students to choose:

What programme they want to study.
How long they want to study for.
When they want to start.
When they want to finish.
What they want to improve in their English language skills.

Some students may choose a course for 5 weeks of English15 and want to improve their listening and speaking skills.
Other students may choose a course for 20 weeks of English9 and IELTS preparation to improve English and prepare for the IELTS exam.

Before students join we assess their English language level and ask them to tell us what they want to improve and why.
After this we will suggest a course that we think may be suitable.

Courses may vary depending on:

the size of a class ie if there are 4 students in the class, or 2 students in a class etc
the English programme students have selected ie English 15, English 9 etc
the length of time each student will study ie 5 weeks, 10 weeks etc
the classes that students will attend ie General English, Multi skills, Exam preparation etc

Once a student joins we inform their teacher/s of the student's requirements and ask our teacher/s to make sure that the course design will meet the new student's needs.

When students book one of our English programmes they will join lessons which will help them improve their English and, if they wish, prepare them for an English language exam.

When the student start his/her course he/she will get an individual study programme and progress report.

The individual study programme will give information about the student's goals, his/her initial assessment and suggestions for language learning targets that would help the student improve.

The progress report, which is completed by the teachers every 5 weeks, will give the student ongoing feedback on how well he/she is doing in his/her language development and how he/she can continue to improve.

A lesson is what a teacher teaches each day but also what a student will follow in order to learn.
