Quality lessons

At Broadstairs English Centre we aim to achieve maximum language progress in the time our students are with us. Our English courses for teenagers have been designed to maximise practice and progression in key language areas depending on the level of the student and length of course. We aim to mix nationalities as much as possible in the classroom and lessons focus strongly on communication to develop oral fluency and accuracy, and to build confidence.

Experience and expectations

Our English courses for teenagers have been developed by our Director of Studies, Chris McDermott. Chris has many years’ experience in teaching and course design for young people. Our teachers’ enthusiasm for the job means that our students are motivated and that they enjoy their classes.  We do our best to make sure that our English courses for teenagers are fun and memorable. Although we want our students to relax and socialise outside of the classroom, we expect full effort during lessons . We have received very positive feedback from students regarding our expectations in the classroom, and  many who have studied English abroad previously have commented that this is one aspect that sets us apart from other schools in the UK.

Lesson material

In the classroom we use a range of resources. We have designed lessons that have clear objectives and encourage lots of discussion. Although there is a strong emphasis on speaking, most lessons integrate all skills, grammar and a topic of interest to teenagers. Where possible, we try to use up-to-date internet resources, making class activities more diverse and interesting. We make English courses for teenagers fun and interactive, and insist on ‘English only’ in the classroom! Our Director of Studies provides excellent support for our teaching team, ensuring that we maintain the highest standards on our English courses for teenagers. Students are also provided with a course folder so they can keep lesson material organised.
