The style of teaching and classroom environment
At Seafield we believe in student-centred, personalised, communicative language learning in safe, culturally appropriate learning environments. We emphasise creating real and realistic language experiences for students to learn from and to receive quality feedback about.
We recognise feedback as one of the greatest factors in learning and provide it through quality formative and summative testing with clear standards so that students know what they can do well and what they will need to improve to achieve their goals. Our experienced and qualified teaching team will help you achieve those goals.
