On arrival at the school
students are given a placement test and subsequently allocated to class on the
basis of ability and age. All ability levels, ranging from beginner to
advanced, are catered for. There is a maximum of 15 students per class.
Students have twenty classes of English per week (each class
lasts 50 minutes). These twenty classes are made up of 10 'main' classes, in
which the emphasis is on more structured work and ten 'supplementary' classes,
in which students use computers, prepare for excursions, play language learning
games and so on.
The emphasis in all the classes is on speaking and listening. Students will be
asked to do lots of work with a partner or in small groups, so that they can
practise English as much as possible.
At the end of the course students are given a Saint Michael's College
certificate of attendance. Each student also receives an individual report.
