General English is our standard course that focuses on spoken production and interaction. Learners are aware of clear learning outcomes through a weekly learning plan which integrates all four language skills. There is a focus on English for Culture through a weekly focus on contemporary Irish themes in an international environment. Language skills are developed through communication in a truly multilingual environment.
The extra one to one hours are based on a comprehensive Needs Analysis which is carried out online with the learner before they arrive in Ireland.
The private element is intentionally not course book based but a Google Classroom is used to archive all course materials and to allow the learner access at any time.
All courses at The Linguaviva Centre offer a Weekly Scheme of Work to the learner so they know what is coming up in the course. However, the one-to-one element of the combination course syllabus is centrally planned, meaning the learner and teacher can negotiate and build the course as they go.
