Methods |
We
believe in the Communicative Language Teaching and,
therefore, class activities are mainly based on the
communicative approach. This approach enables learners
to communicate, rather than to analyze, the target language.
The approach is based on the following principles |
Communication
Principle |
| Activities
that involve real communication promote learning |
Task
Principle |
| Activities in which language
is used for carrying out meaningful tasks promote learning |
Meaningfulness
Principle |
Learning
that is meaningful to the student supports the learning
process. Under these principles, class activities are
designed to be learner-centered in which any facilitation
methods applied are utilized to gain the optimum learning
results. In particular situation, English is used as
the last resort. A relaxed atmosphere is deliberately
created to eliminate the concept of "teacher-student
relationships". We foster the "relationship
of friends" concept within our school's environment.
