The Study Group Advantage
Our commitment to optimising your learning experience
A dynamic approach to learning
All courses are designed around and based upon the
academic standards set in each country. Our programmes cater for various
levels of language knowledge, from beginner to advanced. Classes are
small with usually 8 - 13 students. There is a great emphasis on speaking
freely so that the student learns the practical side of the language
and how to use vocabulary and expressions in everyday language. Current
political, social and cultural materials are integrated to add interest
and increase knowledge of the host country and culture.
Quality teaching to inspire you
We use a teaching method which has been developed
and consistently updated over the years, transforming a potentially
stressful learning situation into a spontaneous and creative learning
experience. All trainers are qualified, highly motivated native speakers
with a thorough knowledge of methodology, grammar and rules of communication.
They will explain structures and systems graphically and enable you
to communicate and create an environment which is positive, creative,
stress-free and enjoyable. Students are encouraged to participate actively
in classes, through guided dialogues, interviews and roleplays.
Providing genuine added value
We pride ourselves on the fact that staff at our
centres are commited to providing exceptional service both in and out
of the classroom. For example, they will often spend their own free
time with our guests. Our teachers keep themselves well informed on
current affairs by means of newspaper articles or through local news
reports; they also keep track of theatrical and cultural events and,
of course, for the business oriented students they have special articles
and materials.
We measure your progress from the start
So that you gain the most from your chosen course
we will give you a full placement test on arrival. This will ensure
that you will be placed in a class most suitable to your own level.
Of course, we also carefully monitor your development throughout your
course, giving you regular, personalised feedback on your progress.
