Many international students are intelligent, highly motivated, and yet the language barrier is getting in the way of their achievement and progress in learning English.
The solution is not always mixed proficiency group English classes. Although it enables exposure to English learning, it does have some weaknesses:
- Group lessons don’t always address the individual language barriers each student faces
- Group lessons don’t always offer the challenge and rigour that intelligent students need to make fast progress
- Facilitators of group lessons don’t always have the deep knowledge of English grammar to enable long-term learning and improvement to take place
At Hartland Educational Consultancy Services, we combine rigorous online EAL tutoring that is focused on one-to-one teaching, with academic English focused on the qualifications students need.
We understand the challenges faced by students according to their specific native languages. And we understand that students are often looking for an English language qualification. Find out more about the courses we offer.
