CISL lessons are given in small groups of a maximum of 8 students. This structure allows the teacher to monitor the work and progress of each student within the dynamics of a group learning environment.
The CISL Teaching Style: Results-driven!
CISL lessons are based on the premise that clear aims and hard work yield the best results. All lessons are taught in the CISL style, focusing on the following key features::
- transparent objectives, clearly identified at the beginning of each lesson
- focus on key language skills and language learning strategies
- appropriate time limits set for each activity
- a pace calculated to challenge the learner at all times
- interaction between teacher - student (and student - student as appropriate)
- private study exercises, which consolidate classroom activities and preparation time to maximize the benefits of the lesson
- feedback on progress achieved at the end of lessons.
