It is designed for those who want to have a more intensive group course to strengthen their abilities in a shorter time.
The first session (09:30 – 11:00) is the “Global Approach” session. In this session, the students work on all 4 language abilities (listening, speaking, reading, writing) and the aim of all activities is to improve the general understanding of an oral or written text and to improve the communication skills. In this session there is no focus on grammar and all activities are “free” activities (meaning that there is no active correction by teachers).
The second session (11:30 – 13:00) is the “Analytical Approach” session. In this session, the students also work on all 4 language abilities (listening, speaking, reading, writing) but the aim of all activities is to understand how this language works. In this session there is a focus on grammar and all activities are “controlled” activities (meaning that there our teachers will highlight mistakes and work on self-correction as much as possible).
The “intensive PLUS course” includes both sessions as described above, plus an extra 2 lesson session a day, from Monday to Friday.
