The programme is based around Octorial (maximum 8 participants per class) lessons which are designed to concentrate on stimulating accurate reactions so that the use of the language rapidly becomes instinctive.

Personalised tuition within a small dynamic learning group

Students are exposed to a structured programme:
• purpose-designed grammar exercises to develop the ability to write accurately in a range of styles and registers
• interactive and dynamic oral practice sessions to encourage the expression of ideas and opinions, incorporating new vocabulary and idioms as well as manipulating sophisticated and more complex language structures
• comprehension skills are developed using a wide variety of carefully selected written texts including newspaper and journal articles and literary texts
• listening exercises using authentic materials to enable students to sharpen their comprehension skills, improve their pronunciation and increase their ability to think in the language
• writing exercises for a wide range of situations from letters and emails to full reports or dissertations.
