Learning in groups

Standard Group Course (for beginners, intermediate and advanced students)

The Standard Group Course comprises 15 hours  per week in small groups with maximum six students of the same level. The course follows a modular pattern of four-week units. For participants of four weeks or longer, following units build upon the grammar basics of Unit One, treating the same grammar topics from a different angle with more in-depth explanations, more complex vocabulary, different exercises and more dialogues and role-play in class.
The groups are formed according to an assessment test, which is compulsory for every participant. Group courses are available for all levels. The minimum course length is four weeks. The maximum course length is open.

During a course students are regularly being tested which gives an opportunity to control the acquired knowledge. In spite of studying in groups, the teachers keep an individual approach to each student during the whole term. The main outcome of our courses is the ability to use grammatical structures and vocabulary in every day life, rather than a virtual knowledge of the abstract grammatical rules. Special techniques for improving concentration will help draw maximum benefits and a huge variety of simulation games and exercises will keep students' motivation and make each lesson fun.
