Course books are provided during class and students are given a workbook to take home.
Monitoring Student Progress
We are committed to ensuring that all students are placed in the right level and continue to make progress throughout their studies.
- Entry test: every student is required to take an online test in advance of arrival and will also be given a speaking test on their first day.
- Weekly assessment: These are short weekly class tests. The results are given to students and recorded in the student’s file.
- Every 6 weeks, each class will take either a mid-level or end level test. After your test, you can talk privately to your teacher about your progress, and how you can improve your study skills. If after 6 weeks you have not had an academic counselling session, please see the Academic Manager.
