International students under 18: guidance and good practice ABOUT ENGLISH LANGUAGE HOUSE
English Language House (ELH) is an EFL/ESOL/EAL tuition and training centre.
English Language House is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all students and especially under 18s, who are considered children under English Law, and expects all staff to share this commitment. English Language House has a safeguarding policy to ensure the safety and care of under 18s. All ELH teachers who teach under 18s are DBS checked. WHY STUDENTS CHOOSE TO STUDY AT ELH:
Students who study with us think that we are a very good school with friendly staff and good teachers. They especially like the small classes and the flexibility of our study programmes.
We think English language house is a good place to study because:
LEVELS AND STUDENT ABILITY ON ENTRY:
Starter Learner - A beginner level learner with no English or very little English.
Lower Learner - These are elementary to lower Intermediate level learners with a some English. This learner may have studied English before but may not be able to use the language and communicate comfortably and accurately at more than a basic level. Some students entering this level may be strong enough to prepare for the Cambridge English “KET” exam. Higher Learner - Intermediate to Upper intermediate level learners with a good basic level of English who can communicate fairly comfortably on a variety of topics. This learner feels comfortable communicating with most English people. Some students at higher level may be able to prepare for the Cambridge English “PET” exam. Stronger students at this level can prepare for the Cambridge English “First Certificate in English” examination. Proficient Learner - These are learners who can communicate well in a variety of situations. They do not make mistakes at basic level and have a good range of grammar and vocabulary at a higher level. These learners can communicate comfortably and easily with native English speakers on a variety of topics and can cope with variations in the pronunciation of English. Some students entering this level may already have the Cambridge English “First Certificate” and may want to prepare for the “Certificate in Advanced English”. Stronger students at this level can prepare for the “Certificate of Proficiency in English”. |
HOW OLD ARE PUPILS WHO CAN ATTEND COURSES FOR UNDER 18s?
Courses are suitable for pupils who are under 18 years old. ELH will group pupils according to age and language level.
Sometimes it is possible for 16 and 17 year old pupils to join our adult classes. If you are interested in information about this please let us know.
HOW LARGE ARE CLASSES AT ELH
Our Live Online Group classes will have a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 8 pupils. Our face2Face Group classes will now have a maximum of 6 pupils as we need to ensure pupils in class adhere to Covid rules regarding social distance. It is also possible to book One2One lessons (ie with 1 pupil in the class) and Two2One lessons (ie with 2 pupils in the class) if you prefer.
ACCOMMODATION FOR UNDER 18s

VISA STUDENTS

TEACHERS AT ELH
Teachers who work at ELH are qualified and experienced EFL professionals.
HOW WE HELP STUDENTS TO CHOOSE A SUITABLE PROGRAMME OF STUDY
Students take a level test
We ask students to do a level test. This will tell us the student's current level. After this we will talk to the student about their individual needs and we will recommend the classes that we think are best. The student can then decide how many classes they want to take, how long they want to study for, when they want to start, what days and times they want to study and how much they want to spend. Students who want to prepare for an exam can do a hurdle test before they join an examination course. The hurdle test will show if students are the correct level to start a preparation course for the exam they want to take. We also offer students to opportunity to sit a Cambridge English pre-test exam under exam conditions. This is free of charge and the exam is marked by Cambridge. Pre-test exams are available for FCE, CAE, CPE, IELTS etc. A pre-test exam is not the real exam and students do not get a certificate, but they are very useful if students want to try the exam before they pay to sit the real thing! We want all our students to be happy and we work hard to achieve this. Our students' successes are our successes and we are delighted when students achieve their English Language goals and move on to study at an English speaking University or into a better job. |
