Описание курса
Описание курса
Программа обучения подростков в Maarsak основана на новейших учебно-методических комплексах. Занятия строятся с использованием коммуникативной методики, которая давно доказала свою успешность при изучении иностранного языка. Отработка языкового материала ведется по всем аспектам владения иностранным языком: разговорная речь, аудирование (восприятие речи на слух), письмо, чтение, грамматика, но приоритетным является совершенствование навыков устного общения на английском языке. По окончании курса все наши студенты проходят финальное тестирование, основанное на кембриджских экзаменах KET, PET, FCE.
В процессе занятий на каждом из уровней, ваши дети достигнут выдающихся результатов.
Каждый последующий уровень на старте закрепляет знания полученные на предыдущем, а далее вводит новые более продвинутые грамматические конструкции, а также новые лексические темы, развиваются навыки говорения и восприятия английской речи на слух, что дает подросткам свободу общения и уверенность в себе.
Кроме того, занятия в классе и домашние задания помогут развить у подростков дополнительные способности, с которыми они станут самостоятельными и гармонично развитыми людьми.
