EC methodology

The school has developed teaching methods based on the practice of English used and spoken in everyday situations. The four skills of speaking, writing, reading and listening are covered, and particular attention is paid to conversation, grammar, vocabulary, idiomatic forms and pronunciation.

The aim is to teach you the English language of today so that you can communicate and be understood by everyone at the end of your language stay. Each lesson will be based on a specific theme or subject adapted to adults.

The teaching resources used are specially designed by EC, supplemented by other materials such as press reviews, videos or other audio documents.

The teachers provide advice and encouragement throughout the stay, while ensuring that learning goes hand in hand with good humour. It is important to establish a pleasant atmosphere and mutual trust in the classroom. As practising the language is the best way to make progress, you will be asked to do a lot during the lessons.
