Methodology

Methodology

Our communicative method focuses on the four language skills: reading, listening, speaking, and writing. During class, the student practices talking to a native teacher while receiving grammar and pronunciation corrections, in addition to learning new vocabulary.

At the end of the class, the student receives a lesson containing the corrections made in class, as well as personalized and authentic homework so that they can practice reading, listening, and writing.

The content learned in class may be reviewed through our interactive online games. Our teachers also regularly review the content of previous classes for the student’s learning to be thoroughly established. Students have ongoing access to everything that they have learned since starting on our platform.

Our teachers create a personalized lesson for the student after each class. The student can review the content of the lesson in a fun way by accessing our games. The teacher also creates homework based on the student’s interests, using authentic content, so that they can practice listening, reading, and writing.

To better equip our beginner students, we have prepared a book that focuses on the fundamentals of the language - enabling the student to read and communicate in the language within a short period of time.

Classes take place via Zoom. Our website and student screen work on any web browser, but for the best experience, we recommend using Chrome.

The teacher evaluates your progress in periodic revision classes based on the content covered in previous classes. We also have Natural proficiency tests which can be applied to check whether a student has reached the next level.

As well as being able to access your classes, you can also review all your lessons (which contain the content covered in classes), access homework tasks, and use the revision games to practice more.

They’re available on our platform and are also sent to your email address as soon as the teacher has added them (within 24 hours).
