Course Programme

At Imaal Tutorials you are totally immersed in the English language. You have six hours a day one-to-one lessons, and for the remainder of the day you are in communicative contact with your teachers. Your teachers communicate with you at your language level. They are there to help you increase your language repertoire and your ability to use English.

Pedagogy

The teaching method is a careful balance between the Communicative Method of Teaching and the Traditional Grammatical Method of Teaching. You get a clear insight into the structure of English and 'how English works'. Above all you are in a learning situation. Your teachers adapt to your learning style and personality.

Your course can focus on your particular needs. If you are naturally communicative, lessons focus on this aspect of language use. If you prefer to improve your knowledge of language structure, or if you need to improve your writing skills, there will be more focus on this.

Your course will also focus on the situations in which you need to use English. For example, you may need skills in social communication, business language, writing texts, making presentations, etc. Your teachers have long experience in the business world, in banking and finance, and in writing and presenting texts. They can help you particularly in these areas.

Post Course Distance Learning

After your course we can offer low cost distance learning help, communicating by email. You can email any communication to us. It can be a report, a letter, a comment, your personal ideas etc. We can correct these in Standard English, recommending changes which suit the particular 'genre' most suitable for English readers. This will help you continue your progress to a higher level, and also to become familiar with the various 'genre' used in English.
