The English programme is a central part of the overall package we provide.

Students have 15 hours contact time per week (normally Monday to Friday inclusive) and there are generally no more than 15 students in a class. A lot of emphasis is placed on trying to get students to interact and converse in English as much as possible. This is accomplished by providing students with interesting communicative activities that help stimulate and encourage language use.

DIRECToR oF STUDIES Each centre has a Director of Studies who coordinates the English programme. He/she organises the testing, monitors the day-to-day teaching, provides advice and assistance to teachers and meets regularly with ENgLISH pLUS ENgLISH representatives of the various groups at the centre.

Our teachers all follow this syllabus, however, there is also some flexibility to allow teachers an A typical teaching day opportunity to integrate their own ideas and materials. Classes begin at 0915 and finish at 1245. There are two 15 minute breaks. 09:15-10:15 The teacher presents a topic and some related vocabulary. A new grammatical structure or language function is also introduced, which is then reinforced using either a written or spoken activity. 10:15-10:30 Break 10:30-11:30 The focus here is on getting students to work together on a specific task, using the language function or grammatical structure covered in the first hour. By setting an interesting skills-based task, we feel it stimulates com- munication and is also more enjoyable. 11:30-11:45 Break 11:45-12:45 The final hour of each teaching day is devoted to more creative language use. Thus, students are encouraged to work on a range of small projects related to the day’s topic, which are often presented by students to the class.
