Cursus beschrijving

You will experience how English is spoken and used in many real-life situations. Relevant and engaging lessons will develop your understanding of grammar, vocabulary, idioms and pronunciation, and allow you practise the four skills of everyday communication: reading, writing, speaking and listening.

At EC, progress is maximised as students are encouraged to learn by doing. Our task-based lessons focus on the active production of the language, promoting class participation and interaction between students. As your skills and confidence develop with support from your teachers, so too will your ability to listen, understand and respond quickly and effectively in either English or French. You will notice these improvements most of all when you take your new skills outside of the classroom and into everyday conversation!

Our teachers are qualified and experienced, and when it comes to creating lessons, they know what works. Classes are dynamic, engaging and motivating, designed to activate and build upon your strengths, whilst also giving targeted attention to your weaker areas. Relaxed and informal classroom environments create an encouraging atmosphere, to help build your confidence, realise your potential and advance towards fluency. Your teachers are trained to deliver on-going support, feedback and care throughout your time at EC. You will be taught by at least two teachers, exposing you to a variety of voices, improving your listening and boosting your vocabulary. We believe there is no substitute for authentic language so, in addition to text books, our teachers use resources taken from newspapers, TV, radio and the Internet. The authentic nature of these materials gives our students an appreciation of the richness of the language used in a variety of everyday contexts.

"I’m totally grateful!"

Marie-Ève Charlebois, student van Canada

I’m totally grateful to have a chance to be part of the EC English family.

The staff take time with each student to check on us, to evaluate our level, to meet our needs.

Also, they found a lovely homestay family for me. I can speak English at home, spend time with them and share very good food every evening.

Sure, the current pandemic change something. They don't have a class 30+ and they can't organise some social activities. But the employees do all they can to respect the Governement restrictions.

After only six weeks, my English has improved a lot.
