In order to further improve your child’s progression and success “The English Academy” has organised the young learner courses into three distinct areas.
This course will prepare your child for the challenges of the school. It`s suitable for children who are 6.5 years old. The course aims are to teach children the basic skills for school, such as classroom behaviour, leanrning and writing the English Alphabet and using notebooks.
Our middle students follow the Backpack and Big English series from Longman which has been designed to engage children in this age group. Our native speaking teachers ensure an English only environment whilst delivering lessons in an enjoyable, supportive atmosphere.
Our older learners follow the Challenges and Cosmic Series from Longman which is particularly suited for secondary school students. In our English only classrooms the emphasis is on speaking accurately and fluently. This level can lead to the Cambridge FCE for schools certificate, an International certificate recognized throughout the world.
In order for parents and children to track progression through the 3 different schools, the following chart shows each of the levels and how they correspond to each other.
