How OISE will help you achieve your goals
Lessons are fast-paced and dynamic. Challenging instruction, which constantly pushes the student to achieve new language learning goals, is combined with individual attention which ensures that students make maximum progress, and remain focused on their exam objective.
The programme is carefully designed to focus on:
Grammatical accuracy
To ensure that students write and speak the language without error. Exercises in class are consolidated by 1-2 hours of preparation work per day giving the student the opportunity to practise and reinforce the grammar learnt each day.
Confidence in speaking
Studying a wide range of written material including newspaper articles and extracts from literature produces lively debate amongst students, giving them the opportunity to increase their confidence in speaking the language.
Clear understanding
Frequent listening exercises of authentic materials enable students to sharpen their comprehension skills, improve their pronunciation and increase their ability to think in the language.
Exam conditions familiarisation
Students are familiarised with the exam by working on real past papers under timed conditions.
