Teaching methods and approaches
Communicative language teaching:
We apply this method in second or foreign language teaching to focus on learner interaction as both a means and an end to learning the target language. By interaction we mean an activity in which two or more parties influence each other.
Direct method:
When teaching language, our team members directly establish an immediate and audiovisual connection between experience and expression, idioms and meanings, rules and performances through the teachers' physical and mental skills, without any help from the learners' native language.
Task-Based Language Learning (TBLT):
We also offer an alternative for language teachers. In a task-based lesson, the teacher does not determine in advance what language will be learned, the lesson is based on the completion of a central task, and the language learned is determined by what happens as the students complete it.
Content Based Learning (CBI):
We refer to this approach to second language teaching in which teaching is organized around the content or information that students will acquire, rather than around a linguistic or other type of curriculum.
Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL):
This approach, where students learn a subject and a second language at the same time, is applied at Intermediate and Intermediate Plus level. A science course, chemistry, physics, for example, can be taught to students in English and they will not only learn about science but also acquire appropriate vocabulary and language skills.
Cooperative language learning:
One of our favorite approaches to teaching that makes the most of cooperative activities involving pairs and small groups of learners in the classroom.
