· Advanced classes and regular classes that are generally eager to learn (though not as enthusiastic as the morning kids)
· Regular classes study Typical ESL designed books, to provide the building blocks of the structure of the English language.
· Advance classes study American textbooks, focusing on reading comprehension and discussion; basically, they put the previously learned building blocks to use.
Our Program
The easiest way to think about the difference between morning and afternoon classes is to look at EFL as building a house. The morning program is where the foundation is laid; students learn the basics of conversation through repetition and games. The afternoon classes (and some of the advanced morning classes) are where the foundation is built upon. The students are given more building blocks which they can use to further their conversational abilities. By the end of the afternoon program, the children are "decorating their house," sort of like a fine tuning. They are given the idioms and patterns of speech to help them sound logical and natural in their conversations.
Curriculum
Everything at the school has already been established, but also allows flexibility for personal teaching styles. There are teaching guides with all the books that are being taught with the exception of a few reading books. The reading books are for reading and comprehension and all you need to do is make up your own set of questions before class starts. There are also plenty of storybooks and supplements to follow up your daily lesson plans.
Questions and Answers
Feel free to make any inquiries you wish. The more you ask, the better able you will be to make a sound choice in deciding whether or not to come teach with us (I know first hand what it's like looking for a job and not having a clue as to what is going to happen!). |
