Course Content

The overall approach in the language development classes is communicative with students
encouraged and facilitated to use the language learned in the classroom. The syllabus for the
morning classes covers all the language skills - speaking, listening, reading and writing as well as
pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar activities. Class work includes individual, pair and group
work, discussions, debates, project work, presentations, written tasks and listening exercises. Each
week a project topic is introduced to the class and students present their project work to the class
at the end of the week.

Participants’ needs are evaluated; learning objectives are set and participants receive focused
feedback. Areas for improvement are addressed through revision sessions and progress tests.
