Methodology and Course Planning

All-International does not have one single, rigid approach. By tailoring the tuition as effectively as possible, we stimulate each client into developing their individual talents.

We call our approach ACTIVE LANGUAGE LEARNING.
Course planning/preparation is made after carefully establishing individual or group requirements. This analysis is based on:
- Current level of ability
- Desired level of attainment
- Reasons for learning (areas of focus)

The structure of the course is then designed from the following criteria:
- Course content and areas of focus
- Course duration
- Length of each study session
- Frequency of lessons
- Students ability to study privately
- Location of the teaching
- Number of participants (group courses)

The overall study period should be as long as possible, giving time for gestation, reinforcement and revision. Otherwise, there is a risk that knowledge gained from the course will not be effectively retained.

We recommend 2 x 60, or 3 x 45 minute lessons, once or twice a week, over a period of 12-14 weeks.

However, we also recognise the need for short, highly intensive courses. Those completing these courses should use their new found skills as quickly as possible, and continue to build upon this foundation (maybe, by distance learning).
