The style of teaching and classroom environment

Each level of General English has its own set syllabus and curriculum; teachers can also create their own lessons using articles, internet-sourced material, a TV or radio show or a song, for example.

Each student receives their own folder to keep their lessons in and they must bring it to school every day. The folder will provide a record of all that they have learnt during their time at Worldwide School. All study materials in General English classes are provided free of charge.

Helping our Students Become Better Learners: The Learning Centre and library at Worldwide School is a resource especially developed for our students to address their individual study goals and to work on their specific needs. Each student receives a Student Learning Passport on their first day at school and they work together with their teacher to develop an individualised study plan. The passport is used to record a student’s study goals and the work they do in the library. All morning classes have a scheduled one-hour session each week in the Learning Centre. During this time teachers monitor, offer help, recommend study materials and discuss study plans with their students. The Learning Centre has an excellent range of resources including workbooks, listening practice, worksheets for grammar and vocabulary, exam practice materials and EFL magazines.

The weekly library session is also a time for students to meet with their teachers and discuss any learning difficulties they are experiencing, their progress and tests results, or any other matters relating to their lessons. Teachers can use the passport to record what is discussed during these student/teacher conference sessions. In addition to the scheduled library session, students are encouraged to use the library after class to work on their study plan.

Another thing that I really like about this school is the teacher using different strategy to keep your motivation very high. For me at the beginning it was really difficult for me to talk in a foreign language but because of the teacher and their different strategy, I’m allowed to just improve my English.
