Teaching Approach at Glasgow School of English

We provide students with lots of opportunities to improve their all-round language skills in a communicative way. We engage students in discussions, role-plays, games, presentations, and other communicative learning tasks that allow students to practice what they have learned. We cover all language systems and skills, but give extra focus to speaking as we find this is the skills most students want to improve when they study overseas. 

We don't simply lecture students to explain important language points; we encourage our students to work together, discover new things, and cooperate with their classmates to learn. We believe we can all learn from each other. We use pair work and group work to give students plenty of opportunities to speak, listen, read and write. 

Our students' opinions and ideas are important to us, so our teachers regularly ask for feedback. We want to know how students feel about their progress or if there is anything they would like to do differently in future classes. We'll encourage you to make decisions about your learning. 

It is important to us that students improve their English and that our courses meet students' needs. Students are assessed weekly to check progress and students will be given additional support and material to ensure your needs and goals are being met.
