Discover English
Learning English through real-world communication
Discover English is designed to enhance students’ abilities to communicate effectively and with confidence in a variety of settings by focusing on practical language skills for real-life interactions.
An emphasis is placed on productive skills and creativity in task-based activities. Sessions are structured to encourage the development of our Core Life Skills as students put their English into practice by taking part in interviews, presentations, research projects, and debates on a variety of exciting and relevant 21st Century topics. The use of engaging topic-based themes allows students a more autonomous role in how the classes develop, and further stimulates a focus on message in communication rather than language structure; an essential skill to improve fluency.
During the course, all students also participate in Core English classes, focusing on building and developing fundamental language and grammar skills.
Themes covered in these classes include:
International Day
Life in the 21st century
Global Citizenship
Culture, Customs and Traditions
Technology Through the Ages
Debating Society
Social Media in the Modern World
“Participating in an immersive environment provides the perfect setting for rapid language development.”
english learning model
Our model is dynamic, adapting lessons to engage students and ensuring that language acquisition is relevant and motivating. With a focus on immersive, practical communication, the model encourages rapid skill development by connecting language learning to each student’s personal goals.
COMMUNICATIVE APPROACH
Our primary emphasis is on enhancing speaking abilities and ensuring effective communication in both social and academic contexts. Through lively discussions, roleplaying, and presentations, students will practise real-life conversations that build confidence and fluency.
LANGUAGE SKILLS
While speaking is at the core of this course, we also cover reading, writing, and listening skills. Students will engage with thought-provoking texts, develop writing abilities, and improve listening comprehension through a variety of multimedia resources.
TOPIC-BASED LEARNING
During the afternoon, students apply their skills to their chosen English in Action class, practising and reinforcing their language abilities in stimulating, hands-on scenarios. By combining language learning with interactive projects, we foster both linguistic fluency and personal development, making English meaningful and memorable.
CORE LIFE SKILLS FOR SUCCESS
We explore Core Life Skills which are essential to thrive in the modern world and to navigate complex challenges in diverse settings. Students will develop strong presentation and debating abilities, enhance problem-solving techniques, and explore the art of rhetoric and diplomacy.
