How OISE will help you achieve your goals

• The course concentrates on stimulating fast and accurate reactions so that the use of the language rapidly becomes instinctive.
• Students are exposed to a structured programme:
• purpose-designed grammar drilling 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 of authentic materials to enable students to sharpen their comprehension skills, improve their pronunciation and increase their ability to think in the language.

Extra support is at hand during individual preparation and consolidation times, to help students with any difficult linguistic points.
