ntensive General English (CRICOS CODE: 099975D) for ALL VISAS - Course Delivery Students are provided with the best learning tools in a safe, academically focused and friendly environment to enable them to achieve their academic goals. This is achieved through engaging them in well-prepared and structured face-to-face lessons delivered by qualified, experienced teachers and also through immersing the students in the language by providing interactive and cultural activities focusing on developing language proficiency and fluency. A practical and communicative format is encouraged in the classroom setting enabling the students to share and develop the skills they need to achieve their individual learning goals. The Language Academy operates a comparatively smaller size of class at the school, which will enable a more personalized approach to achieving learner outcomes. In smaller groups, students will be kept fully involved and motivated by participating actively throughout each lesson. Students will have quality learning experiences with their achievement of outcomes in the classroom as the over-riding goal, but will also be offered a wide variety of extra-curricular activities where they can fully experience how to apply their language skills in a practical way. - Lesson structure Classrooms are modern, bright learning spaces complete with whiteboard, audio-visual equipment and courses are delivered based on a course workbook specific to the level and needs of each class. Each week will have a theme and specific grammar structures presented to the students in the form of clear, well-structured lessons focusing on main grammar points. Students will also be equipped with topic-specific vocabulary via the thematic approach. Lessons will be based on the textbook “Face to Face” and a “PPP” approach, “Present, Practice, and Produce” will be taken. Each lesson will focus on a specific “Learner Outcome”. Students will be given varied exercises to utilize all four macro-skills so they have a chance to use each of the grammar points in a receptive way by engaging in listening and reading exercises, as well as a productive way by actively participating in speaking activities and writing tasks. During the “practice” phase of each lesson, students will be encouraged to be active and productive in their practical use of the target grammar structures and vocabulary presented. Students will be given ample opportunity to use the new grammar structures in a creative and individual way by offering real- life or simulated situations in which they can practice using their new knowledge in order to gain confidence. As the lessons will follow a logical sequence progressing from the known to the unknown, from the simple to the complex, the students will develop their skills and have a sense of building on their knowledge in a step-by-step process. Review lessons will be given at the end of every week so as to maximize the students’ success and to help them to prepare for any progress tests or level-up tests.
