The Octorial Essential Programme

Mô tả khóa học

The Octorial programme is designed to help students develop all aspects of their knowledge and use of English language, improve the core skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing, and develop ‘soft skills’ for their lives in an English speaking world. Our classes focus not only on accuracy and comprehension, but also on developing essential skills such as social interaction, self-study, critical thinking, and cultural awareness.
We believe that full immersion in English is the key to developing language skills, so classes are held in English in multinational classes. We encourage all our students to take full advantage of the experience by working hard inside and outside class, and by participating in the Social and Cultural programme with their classmates.
Before arrival, we ask students to complete a placement test and needs analysis. This gives us essential information about a student’s current English level, motivations, strengths, and areas to work on. We conduct an informal speaking assessment on the morning of arrival to ensure students are placed in the most appropriate class on their first day.
Teachers assess progress on a continual basis, by assessing written work, listening to spoken performance, and evaluating performance in class. During their course, learners are invited for individual coaching sessions with a teacher. The purpose of these sessions is to provide an opportunity to discuss their progress and to set achievable goals for self-study.
