OUR APPROACH
Develop your English with passionate teachers who use the language acquisition approach by teaching meaningful content through authentic learning experiences.
THE 80/20 RULE
We follow the 80/20 rule. With 80% of the courses aimed at providing content with comprehensible and compelling input. These are either personal development courses such as, The Human Brain, The Mind and Mediation or general conversation courses such as, The Legends of Comedy, The Wisdom of Wine and The Greatest Films Ever Made.
The other 20% of the content is focused on courses that are more traditionally expected from a language school such as, How to pronounce Verbs ending in ED, The Art of learning Phrasal Verbs and British Expressions. These courses are for students who need to satisfy their desire to study some grammar.
Additionally, there is also the Intermediate English Podcast where you can access all the transcripts for free and listen to James talk about language learning as well as discuss other diverse topics with his guests.
