English for Young Learners

We offer a broad range of English courses to children, teenagers and adults, at all levels of proficiency, from absolute beginner to advanced.
Each course has been carefully designed to meet the learning needs of its students. Particular attention is paid to teachers and teaching methodology, learning and teaching materials, course content, learning objectives, assessment and feedback.

ENGLISH FOR YOUNG LEARNERS

eyTeaching Assistants
All classes are also staffed by bi-lingual teaching assistants. Teaching assistants play a support role, assisting the native English speaking teachers, as well as providing parents with an in-class point of contact.

Cambridge ESOL Examinations
Students are assessed throughout their courses using Cambridge ESOL practice examinations. Some students may then go on to take these examinations organised by ILA and Cambridge ESOL. These examinations – Starters, Movers, Flyers, KET, PET and FCE are internationally recognised indicators of English language proficiency.

Feedback to parents
Each month parents receive a written and/ or verbal report from teachers or teaching assistants. The purpose of these reports is to keep parents up-to-date with their children’s learning progression and to give parents the opportunity to discuss any issues they may have.
