Teaching

Placement Test: On your first day, you will take a short written test and have an interview with a teacher so that we can assess your level of English and choose the best class level for you. 

English Lessons: Our English classes are based on our school’s topic based syllabus. You will develop your language skills while discussing topics that are relevant and interesting to you. Expect to work in pairs and groups regularly, and take part in class discussions and other activities that make learning enjoyable and fun. 

Project Classes: In our project classes, you will use English to work on a project together with your class mates. You will be able to choose the focus of your project with help from your teacher. Popular projects include: 

• Creating a school magazine
• Surveys of Select staff or members of the public
• Making a guide to Cambridge for future students
• Preparing a presentation on your hometown

Drama Classes: On your final day at Select, all classes put on a short performance for the rest of the school. In your drama classes, your teacher will help you to prepare and rehearse your performance.

This is an excellent way to build your confidence and is also lots of fun!

Certificates: At the end of the course, you will receive a certificate with your English level.
