Forms of Training

One-to-one

One-to-one offers complete freedom – freedom to learn what you want, when you want and how you want and is suitable for the busy participant who needs to learn a new language despite the full schedule!

The advantages of one-to-one are clear:

• You dictate what you want to learn
• You have the full attention of the trainer
• You set the pace
• You do not have to listen to other people’s mistakes
• You get a real chance to speak
• You choose how many lessons you wish to have, when you want to have them and where you wish to be taught either at the school or in your office.

 

Pair training

Pair-training is very similar to one-to-one training. You choose your partner who has the same goals and level as yourself. ( We cannot guarantee to provide a partner for you.) Only people who really fit together are accepted on a pair-training course.

Once you have booked the number of lessons you wish to have tell us when and where  you wish to have the lessons and we do the rest!

The advantages of a pair-training are:

• You only have one other participant in the lesson
• You can do role plays
• You still get a good chance to speak yourself
• You choose how many lessons you with to have, when you want to have them and where you wish to be taught – either at the school or in your office.

 

Small Groups

We believe the groups should never have more than 8 participants. A small group of four people is ideal. This is not based on our idea to sell more courses but on the simple fact that each lesson normally has 90 minutes. If the trainer talks for ten of those minutes then that leaves 10 minutes for each student 10 minutes of talking time each week is simply not very much!

Our group courses can be held either in the school - for companies which have a problem of finding rooms in their own building or in the company itself. We can offer intensive courses – every day a double lesson or more – or extensive courses 90 minutes a week for several weeks.

Many companies choose to run English language courses on a permanent basis, these on-going courses are booked in blocks of three to six months at a time.

The International Language School is proud of its firm, solid base of trainers who are in Germany on a permanent basis. We do not employ students or people who are only looking for temporary work. This means that the group sees the same trainer every week. This way we can develop a good, consistent learning atmosphere and an excellent relationship between trainer and students can be built.

 

Total immersion – either individually or in a group.

This is the most effective form of training possible for really fast results.

Who is it suitable for?

Participants who need to learn the target language as quickly as possible. It is also suitable for students who only really need to refresh all their language skills e.g. students who used to speak excellent English but have not spoken for a long time.

Advantages of total immersion.

You can concentrate fully on learning the language without external distractions. If you are the only student the lessons are based exactly around your speed and learning style and what you want to learn. We only accept very small groups for this type of training and they are composed of similar level students all with the same goals.

How does it work?

You choose the number of lessons you wish to have each day. The very maximum would be 12 (12 x 45 mins)

You are allocated your own room at the school and you can work, in private and in peace when you are not being taught.

We have a team of trainers working together so that your concentration level is always activated and you do not get bored! Many different methods of teaching are used including the use of video, CDs and tape recorder. Evening activities can also be booked with native speakers so the learning effect continues all day.
