Objectives
The core class is an integrated skills class. It covers reading, writing, speaking, listening, grammar, and vocabulary. In this class you'll improve your accuracy (how correct your English is) and fluency (how well you can communicate). Lessons have daily and weekly objectives so you know what you’ll learn and how you’ll learn it. The teachers provide you with regular assessments that allow you to keep track of your progress. Teachers use the Communicative Approach, so you'll learn English by using English, not by listening to grammar lectures and doing worksheets. They feel strongly that this is the most effective method to acquire English that students can use in the real world.
The Syllabus for each level is mapped to the CEFR levels A1-C2. The levels define what you can do and Stafford House believes that language is for communication. Each of the Core Class Course Books is also mapped to the CEFR providing a consistent basis for developing your language skills.
Flexibility
From Standard to Intensive and Super Intensive, the range of English language courses offers you a choice on how intensively you want to study - whether that’s 20 lessons a week on a Standard course or 30 lessons a week on the Super Intensive. Plus with the school's range of modules you get to personalise your course to fit your needs.
How you learn
The school believes that you will learn faster and more effectively if your lessons are engaging, fun and relevant, that’s why the teachers use a range of techniques and develop classes that are motivating and build your confidence. This will allow time to focus on any areas of weakness. Any weekly programme is influenced not only by the course book syllabus but also by the learning goals and interests of the students in any one group.
Testing on arrival
On your first day you will take a language assessment, to assess your knowledge of grammar and vocabulary and how well you are able to understand and speak English. This helps teachers to understand the class you’ll be happiest and most successful in.
Monthly Tutorial
Every month you’ll have a one-to-one tutorial with a senior member of the academic team to make sure you are on track to achieve your goals and fulfil your potential. It’s a great opportunity to review your course choices and learning methods and to really make sure you achieve what you want to achieve.
**Quality Assurance
The Directors of Studies are based in all of the schools to ensure the programmes are of the highest possible quality, the average class sizes are small, and that the students leave having gained the maximum from their time with the school.
