Lezioni di inglese

Building English Fluency

L’Irish College of English è riconosciuto dall’ACELS, un ente irlandese sulle qualifiche e la garanzia della qualità nell’insegnamento della lingua inglese. Miriamo alla progressione e aspiriamo a accrescere l’interesse naturale e l’amore per la lingua nei nostri studenti. La politica del nostro college prevede la divisione degli studenti in gruppi corrispondenti al loro livello di lingua che sarà valutato durante l’iscrizione. Una volta terminato il corso, gli studenti riceveranno un resoconto dei loro progressi e una certificazione di conseguimento e partecipazione ai nostri corsi.

Le lezioni si tengono tutte le mattine, dal lunedì al venerdì e ogni corso seguirà rigorosamente il programma stabilito e il libro in dotazione. Le lezioni si focalizzano sulle competenze linguistiche fondamentali, dando maggior enfasi all’orale e all’ascolto. Coinvolgiamo i ragazzi con esercizi alquanto interattivi e progetti per affinare e aumentare le competenze comunicative degli studenti.

Abbiamo creato il Programma interculturale adolescenti irlandesi per garantire la qualità elevata delle lezioni e per accrescere l’esperienza dei nostri studenti. Ogni settimana alcuni adolescenti irlandesi si uniscono alle lezioni per proporre un esercizio insieme agli insegnanti e dare l’opportunità ai nostri studenti di relazionarsi con dei ragazzi irlandesi della loro età. La reazione dei nostri studenti a questo programma è stata incredibilmente positiva.
