Methodology
Introduction
Designed by experts
The courses are designed by experts in the creation of online material. The aim is to motivate, guide and equip you to achieve your learning goals and communicate effectively.
Course design
Learn to read, write, listen and speak
In the courses, you focus on language in context and practise all aspects of the language in a meaningful way.
A text- and task-driven approach to materials design
Carefully structured to achieve your learning goals
The courses are carefully structured to help you achieve your learning goals and successfully complete real-life tasks. You take an active role in your learning and become a more autonomous learner.
Topic cohesion
Practise natural language in a meaningful way
Units of the courses are based on topics. This means you learn language associated with each topic and have the opportunity to use what you learn in a meaningful and natural way.
Holistic approach to language focus
Study all aspects of English
In the courses you find and understand a wide variety of written and spoken texts and focus on features like style and discourse, rather than just focusing on sentences in isolation.
Inductive approach to grammar
Be an active learner
In the courses you discover how the language works and put your understanding into practice.
A multi-layered syllabus
Use language creatively
In the courses there is equal focus on vocabulary, grammar, functional language, pronunciation, reading, writing, listening and speaking, and you can use the language in a creative, personalised way. You don't just learn standard answers to standard questions.
Exercise design
Exercises designed to help you learn
In the courses, feedback guides you to understanding. Exercises help you learn, rather than just testing what you learn. You focus on meaning first and then on form. As you progress you are challenged more, using a wide variety of engaging exercise types.
