Language courses

Language courses is a very topical issue in our time. From an early age, every parent sends their child to training in foreign languages, knowing that in the future their children will be able to communicate with foreigners, to travel to different countries and much more. However, foreign languages carried away just now, and those people born in the USSR or later who do not even know the alphabet, can not not to communicate with foreigners, they cannot understand even simple names of the movies or TV, it will not be able to read the composition of any product. To remedy this situation and came up with Language courses.

Courses may be recorded by anyone. Moreover, the types of courses are different, too – from the basics to the professional level. Let's look at each level learning more.

Newly minted linguists will be trained in the courses the simplest things – the alphabet, pronunciation and reading. In many schools courses from scratch differ on professional approach and, of course, cost. The trainee it is important to choose what level he can start to learn from scratch or from the General course. But even if you can't understand where do you begin – do not worry – each school will conduct the test for knowledge of your language and will accurately determine your level of knowledge. If the student does not distinguish the words “he” and “she”, then the best option would be to start from scratch.

The standard course is suitable for those who already speak the language to some extent, for those who can read but not speak and Vice versa. You identify the group that is right for you. I can say that each group gets its training program, which can help in the development of thematic conversations, basic structures, and simple reading. All courses in this area have something in common – students immersion, that is, all that surrounds them, actions, objects, people – are called and speak the taught language, and only in some cases there may be explanations in Russian.

Typically, students enrolled in standard General courses can already understand the English language, and have a level of knowledge from Pre-Intermediate to Advanced. For higher level this degree of study required approximately 2 months of daily training.

Many busy people who want to learn English but are unable to devote a lot of time can go into semi-intensive courses. These classes are usually in the morning, so the rest of the time students spend as they want. Courses differ from the basic course and it takes about 24 hours a week. During these classes teach grammar, phonetics, writing and reading.

Upper intermediate courses and who want to communicate in the business world called Business courses. In these lessons students are taught how to conduct negotiations and meetings alucema language. These lessons take up to 30 hours per week, the bulk of which fully passes on practice: students are able to communicate and conduct gaming moments right from the first lesson.

During the course of business English students greatly expand the vocabulary, studying rules corporate ethics and correspondence, overcome the language barrier and literally transferred part of his work into English. On most courses business English learn business as a whole — from structure to theories of motivation. But also in the General business courses, there is a subspecies of specialized language programs. They are aimed at the acquisition of vocabulary within a narrow specialty. It can be language courses for teachers, accountants, selling managers, IT specialists, etc.

Some schools arrange visits to various companies in the framework of specialized courses, where you can also get acquainted with the work of their foreign colleagues and to acquire business connections.

A great way to quickly learn the language — individual lessons with a teacher. This option is the most expensive but also most effective. An individual course can be adjusted purely for personal goals: improve writing skills, interview preparation, improving speaking or getting rid of emphasis, and much more. With a personal tutor is easy to pick up own pace lessons to fit the schedule around your schedule, plus often even have an opportunity to study at home via Skype. This, by the way, it may seem kind of a hack, but the vast majority of opinion evidence is to the contrary — to do at home easier, more enjoyable and more efficient.

Of course, the question may arise concerning whether to appeal to a language school because you can find yourself a frequent tutor. It should be understood that language schools have large capital, they can set their own pricing for individual lessons, which is often more profitable than the policy of private teachers. Secondly, due to the huge number of reviews about the schools you can see the impressions of other students and not stumble across such a teacher who is blatantly not meet the expectations of the student.

Courses in a family of teachers — one of the most effective and expensive options for language study abroad. The student is invited to live in a family of professional English teachers that can accommodate one or more students. The study of the theory occurs in lectures, and practiced language skills in everyday life. For total immersion, the results of this practice exceed all expectations, because the student all the time working directly in the language environment, in a few weeks, even his thoughts are translated into English. Another definite plus of this option is that the student will not need to find a hotel and even pay as it is included in the course price.
