The program is offered year-round with sessions beginning every week. Students enrolled in the program receive 20 hours of classroom instruction per week. The program's flexible timetable provides students with practical class work to develop their key language skills.
The program is offered at 5 levels of instruction from beginner to advanced. Upon their arrival at the center, students' English abilities are tested in the areas of reading, writing, listening and speaking to guarantee their proper placement into an ability level. To ensure students' objectives are met, the program regularly assesses their progress and provides students with development reports. As proof of their improvement, students will be presented with the Embassy CES Certificate of English.
The program's rigorous curriculum is primarily designed to quickly improve students' ability to communicate in real-life situations by focusing on the integration of reading, writing, listening and speaking. The curriculum also concentrates on key areas needed for students to attain greater fluency - primarily being essential grammar, pronunciation, colloquial language, idioms and vocabulary. At least two lessons per week take place in larger groups with the intent to focus on the areas in which students need extra help. During these group sessions, students can gain added assistance with study assignments, acquire extra reading or grammar practice or improve their listening skills. Outside of the classroom, students can independently participate in local year-round festivals held throughout the city, attend professional sports games or go sightseeing to explore some of the city's vibrant, eclectic neighborhoods.
Classroom sizes average 10 students per class with a maximum of 15 students. Every effort is made to keep classes at an ideal size for effective English language instruction. |
