Course methodologies

At Language Power International, we believe that the most effective way to learn a language is through personal training with a qualified and experienced native trainer.

Our language trainers take a communicative approach to language training, which promotes the active participation of the participants in the class and optimal learning results. It emphasizes communication skills and uses the following basic principles:

• Teaching is student-centered and encourages interaction between the students in the classroom.
• Classroom activities are relevant and target the language needs of the students. Targeted use of language means that the activities have a specific goal and that the trainers use carefully selected authentic materials whenever possible.
• Motivation is maximised by making the lectures relevant, lively and fun.
• Interactive activities are used to maximize conversational opportunities for students.
• These include pair and group work, role play, information gap exercises, dialogue creation, conversations and debates, games and quizzes.
• In the classroom, the trainer places more emphasis on communication than on correction. Knowledge of grammar is essential for effective communication, but do not form the focus of the course and is taught because it occurs naturally in communication activities rather than out of context.
• In the greatest extent possible (but not exclusive) the use of the target language is encouraged as means of teaching and communication in the classroom.

Our teachers may use other language training methods to meet the individual needs of students. This includes more gammar-based and translation-based approaches.
