We are delighted to announce the launch of an innovative new programme for secondary learners aged 13 – 15 years old. It has been designed to give your teenager a truly rewarding English learning experience. Our courses are based on the latest developments in teaching English and use the most up to date age-specific resources and materials.
Our Secondary Programme courses aim to:
- provide teenagers with a positive experience to develop their enjoyment of English
- develop teenagers’ confidence and skills when speaking and interacting with others
- enhance and activate the English and content they are learning at school
- foster independent learning and research skills for study outside the classroom
We have four language levels and each takes a full academic year (over four 10-week terms) to complete. This provides your teenager with 240 hours of learning per level:
Secondary Elementary -> Secondary Pre Intermediate -> Secondary Intermediate -> Secondary Upper Intermediate
We achieve our aims through:
- learning objectives shared with the teenagers as can-do statements
- practical tasks and evocative teen-relevant topics
- discussing global issues which are important to teens’ lives
- real contexts to practise everyday functional language
- individualised support for each teenager according to their ability
Assessment is based on the achievement of the can-do statements and showcased in Learning Portfolios where the children keep evidence of their learning from the year. Each 60-hour term, your child will receive a report showing their progress. They will receive a certificate at the end of the 240-hour academic year.
Primary Learners have three 2-hour lessons each week. These lessons are either Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays or Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. To find out your child or teenagers' level, s/he will take a written placement test and a short interview with one of our teachers.
Kyats 290,000 per term plus fees for materials.
