In which Areas do I work?

Test Teach Test (TTT)

• Initial Test: used to identify the initial level of the student at the beginning of the course and at the start of learning interactions.
• Teach: introduce the target language (that which the student needs) to close the language gap and which is personalised on the basis of their practical needs
• Test: used to evaluate the learning progress and eventual acquisition of the target language.

Monitor Model

• Input: to establish personalised language levels
• Acquisition: to balance formal learning and immersion. Multimedia (podcasts and videos) are selected by level and personal interest.
• Monitor: students are trained to “step out of the loop” to be able to monitor their own output and to choose the appropriate language.
• Affective Filter Hypothesis (Krashen): stress is kept to a minimum to facilitate language uptake: the filter increases or decreases in dependence upon affective factors such as in the adaption to a new culture or working environment, anxiety, stress or self-esteem
