LTC English

Throughout the course you will develop the four main skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking, with emphasis on grammar and vocabulary too.

There is lots of speaking practice in the lessons to make you more confident and fluent. Our teachers will also help you improve your pronunciation and listening, you can also do further work on these skills during your free time in our study centre. Our study centre manager is always happy to help if you have any questions. English is the language of our classrooms and is shared by all our students and teachers. We will give you regular homework to support your work within the classroom and each month there is a progress test.

You will then have regular tutorials every 4 weeks with your teacher or Director of Studies to look at your progress and give you advice on how to keep improving your English.

The regular tutorial process also ensures you can move up to the next level as soon as you are ready or change to an exam preparation course when you want a new challenge.

Teaching Methods:

We use Communicative Language Teaching – you learn to improve your English language skills by using English.  There is a strong focus on speaking and listening, and you will spend a lot of time working together with your classmates.  We also integrate grammar and vocabulary work with practice in the four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing.

Teaching and Study Materials:

We lend you a course book, you don’t have to pay extra.  Your teacher will use the course book as a basis for your course, but he or she will also bring in extra materials and you can use our study centre for self study. Our study centre manager can recommend any useful materials for self study to help improve your weaknesses.
