Free initial language assessment

Initial testing comprises a written and an oral exam. In addition to the established multiple-choice testing method, our written exam also probes written message comprehension and written output capabilities. Depending on customer preference, for the oral exam we organize face-to-face or phone interviews. Our complex testing methods ensure both result accuracy and precision, enabling us to assign candidates language competency sublevels, distinguishing for instance between B1.1 and B1.2. The direct benefit for the company consists in a greater ROI and more precise peformance indices to guide the appraisal of the language training programme.

Needs assessment and goal setting

Based on a precise initial assessment we can set the training goals and the course content. Our course customization seeks to match the company development requirements and the personal goals of the trainees while conforming throughout to CEFR parameters and established language certification standards.

Course delivery

We set out with a preliminary presentation of the course programme and contents alongside the handover of the training material. Each session is structured in successive stages of presentation, practice and production, in a balanced ratio to each other. This format includes essential grammar, vocabulary, texts, audio-video supporting material, worksheets, interactive games, roleplay and not least conversation. We build on previous knowledge and consolidate by overlapping steps. Subjects once presented are reiterated in varied contexts throughout the rest of the course.
