HOW WE WORK

Much has changed since Covid and we are taking steps to ensure that when we open our doors to students everyone can feel safe. English Language House will always follow the government guidelines to ensure everyone at Elh can feel safe and can carry on learning. 

HOW WE CONDUCT ONLINE LESSONS

We use Zoom to run live online lessons. These lessons may be One2One, Two2One. Three2One or Small group lessons for adults or children. We can also use Skype for live online lessons if students are unable to use Zoom.  

Students who join our live online lessons will get one of more of the following, where possible:
  • a personal Elh Gmail address
  • an Elh group WhatsApp with their name
  • access to the elh googledrive
  • access to digital learning material 

HOW WE COMMUNICATE

For instant messaging we create a WhatsApp group account for each student. This WhatsApp group account contains:
  • the student's name and mobile number
  • Tatiana's name and mobile number 
  • the Elh Office name and mobile number
  • the DOS at Elh mobile number
​
Students will use this WhatsApp group account to communicate with us if they need an immediate response.

For email communication, students email us on info@englishlanguagehouse.co.uk 

​This is the email for the ELH Office which deals with all student enquiries, timetabling of lessons, changes, request etc.
Mihaela or Tatiana at the ELH office, will pick up and respond to students' emails when these are sent to 

info@englishlanguagehouse.co.uk and there will be no delay in responding and dealing with an enquiry. 

Other email addresses may be used from time to time but these are for internal use only and emails sent there may not be picked up by Mihaela at the ELH office so there may often be a delay in responding if students use these.

HOW WE CONDUCT FACE2FACE LESSONS 

We hope to start our face2face lessons in our ELH classrooms from September 2020. Students can join us now for our face2face lessons. However if there is another rise in covid infections and there is another lockdown, or if students and staff do not feel safe, we can change from face2face to fully online or blended learning lessons.  

From September 2020 the way we offer our face2face lessons will change. The timetable of lessons will change, the days and times of lessons will change and the number of students in each classroom will change; all this is to make sure that we follow government guidelines and ensure that all our students and staff feel safe when they come to Elh.

HOW WE WILL ENSURE STUDENTS AND STAFF FEEL SAFE AT ELH:
Students and staff will need to complete a location and health declaration form before they can come to ELH.  
Students arriving into the UK from certain countries may need to self isolate for 14 days before they can start their course.
Here is a list of the countries from where you can travel to the UK and may not need to self-isolate when you arrive. 
​This list changes so please check it before you travel. If you arrive to the UK from a country that is not on this list you will need to self isolate for 14 days. After the 14 days and providing you do not have any covid symptoms, you will need to complete and sign a student location and health declaration form before you can start your course at Elh. 
If you have symptoms you MUST NOT come to Elh and you should get tested. You can see what you need to do here. 
While you are self-isolating or if you need to wait for the results of a covid test before you can attend face2face lessons, you can join our live online lessons.
WHEN STUDENTS ARRIVE AT ELH
  • Students will need to wear a face mask when they arrive to study at ELH.
  • Tables and chairs for students in classrooms will be placed in accordance to social distancing rules. 
  • Teachers and Elh staff will maintain social distancing and will wear a mask and/or face shield visor when they speak to students and each other. 
  • We will not use handouts or photocopies during lessons. Students will either be asked to buy their own coursebook for their course or will be sent worksheets and study material digitally ie by email, googledrive, padlet, slack etc   
  • Study bubbles will be created so that students will study together in the same groups.
  • Students' arrival and departure time/s will be staggered to ensure students stay in their bubbles and to reduce contact between students from different study bubbles.    
  • Students will use digital platforms and apps for group work, pair work, collaborative activities and homework.
WHAT WE WOULD LIKE YOU TO DO EACH DAY:
  • Maintain social distancing at all times.
  • Arrive and leave your classroom at your allocated time.
  • Bring your own hand sanitiser with you and use this throughout the day.
  • Wear a mask when you arrive and leave and during your lesson if necessary.
  • Wear gloves if this is necessary.
  • Wash your hands after you use the public toilets in the building.
  • Bring a pack of sanitiser wipes with you and use these to wipe your desk and/or chair before and after you use it. 
  • Bring a pack of tissues with you and use these where necessary ie if you need to sneeze, to push buttons in the lift, open doors using door handles etc 
  • Do not share pens, paper, books, tissues etc with others. 
  • Do not come to class if you have any covid symptoms eg a cold or a sniffle, a sore throat, a temperature etc, even if you do not think this is Covid. 
  • Do not enter the ELH Office without an appointment. 
NOTE THAT: There will be hand sanitisers in each room at ELH and throughout the building but it is best if you bring your own since then you are sure about what you are using and how safe this is for you.  
WHAT TEACHERS AND STAFF WILL DO EACH DAY 
  • Teachers will have their own room to use each day.
  • They will wear and a mask and a face shield visor when students arrive and leave the class.  
  • They will maintain social distancing during lessons and may teach smaller groups of students in their class.
  • They will have their own hand sanitiser and sanitiser sprays for use in each classroom as required.
  • They will share resources and material for lessons digitally with students; they not hand out books, photocopies, worksheets etc to students during the lesson.
  • Teachers will be part of the study bubbles we create. 

Government guidance for full opening: schools
Updated 7 August 2020
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/actions-for-schools-during-the-coronavirus-outbreak/guidance-for-full-opening-schools

System of controls

This is the set of actions schools must take. They are grouped into ‘prevention’ and ‘response to any infection’ and are outlined in more detail in the sections below.

Prevention:
1) minimise contact with individuals who are unwell by ensuring that those who have coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms, or who have someone in their household who does, do not attend school
2) clean hands thoroughly more often than usual
3) ensure good respiratory hygiene by promoting the ‘catch it, bin it, kill it’ approach
4) introduce enhanced cleaning, including cleaning frequently touched surfaces often, using standard products such as detergents and bleach
5) minimise contact between individuals and maintain social distancing wherever possible
6) where necessary, wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE)

Numbers 1 to 4 must be in place in all schools, all the time.
Number 5 must be properly considered and schools must put in place measures that suit their particular circumstances.
Number 6 applies in specific circumstances.

Response to any infection:
7) engage with the NHS Test and Trace process
8) manage confirmed cases of coronavirus (COVID-19) amongst the school community
9) contain any outbreak by following local health protection team advice

​Numbers 7 to 9 must be followed in every case where they are relevant.
