Aims of the Course
This program employs rigorous, research-driven ESL methodology to equip you with the spectrum of language skills needed for a high IELTS band:
-
Metalinguistic awareness: Develop understanding of grammar mechanics and lexical cohesion to craft precise, coherent writing and speaking.
-
Strategic competence: Acquire exam-specific skills, such as skimming/scanning, outlining essays, paraphrasing, and managing pause-fillers during speaking tasks.
-
Pronunciation and phonological control: Enhance intelligibility using accurate stress, rhythm, and intonation.
-
Task-based scaffolding: Through layered rehearsal, build from controlled practice (e.g. modeling responses) to autonomous performance under timed conditions.
-
Diagnostic feedback loops: Personalized error correction and analytical feedback across the four macro-skills—Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking.
Medium of Teaching
-
All lessons are conducted online via Microsoft Teams—a stable platform with audio, video, and interactive whiteboard functionality.

Classes are synchronous and interactive, enabling real-time peer and instructor engagement, screen-sharing of materials, and instant feedback.
