The Classes
The focus in young children’s classes is on developing listening and speaking skills. This is achieved through the medium of play, songs and stories. Classes are divided by age into 6 grades (0~1, 1~2 etc). The very youngest children attend with a parent. Our primary school children follow a 4-skill, grammar-based course, with the main focus on developing strong speaking skills. Classes are divided by level into 6 grades.
Training
New teachers receive initial training in the form of demonstration lessons, class observations and feedback sessions, as well as orientation in our curricula, language goals and teaching methods, and workplace procedures and standards. Further training and professional development opportunities will be customised to the teacher's observable skills and classroom performance.
