Sample Course
We've put our "English - a quick refresher" course on our website for you to download so that you can get a better idea of what our teaching approach and course materials are like. This sample course highlights the way in which we structure your study:
- study is broken up into lessons, these vary in length, but generally a lesson should be several hours of self-contained work,
- each lesson starts with learning targets so that you know what you are meant to achieve,
- ideas are introduced simply and in the detail that you need,
- there are activities and feedback for you to judge how you're doing,
- the progress check at the end of the lesson rounds things off and prepares you for the next lesson, and
- lessons are often followed by an assignment which is part of your coursework and is marked by your tutor.
