Types of Lessons
One-to-one Lessons
Our One-to-one Lesson system, designed to fit each student’s level, schedule and needs, offers total flexibility and guarantees that the students make maximum progress in the time they have. Following a thorough needs analysis and level testing, instruction plans and teaching materials are tailor-made to suit each individual.
Semi-Private Lessons （Small classes of two to five students）
Semi-Private Lessons are available for corporate clients and for students who wish to study with family members, work colleagues or friends. Each student undergoes a rigorous needs analysis and a level testing process to ensure the language instruction plan will be effective. The emphasis will usually be on developing communicative skills in the target language. However, the course curriculum can be adapted to different professional or private needs.
Group Lessons (Classes of more than five students)
As with Semi-Private Lessons, Group Lessons are available for corporate clients and for students who wish to study with family members, work colleagues or friends. Each student undergoes a rigorous needs analysis and a level testing process to ensure the language instruction plan will be effective. The emphasis will usually be on developing communicative skills in the target language. However, the course curriculum can be adapted to different professional or private needs.
On-site Lessons
Upon request, ICC can dispatch excellent instructors to your office or home. Our tailor-made language programs are flexible and adjustable. We will listen to and analyse your needs, create a suitable program, and modify it where and when necessary. When preparing the course curriculum, your schedule, level, specific needs and budget will all be taken into account.
Instructors
Our courses are conducted by professional native instructors. Upon request, non-native instructors can also be provided. As we are convinced that the success of our schools ultimately depends on the quality and efforts of our personnel, we hire only instructors that are well-experienced, friendly and dedicated to their work. Many of our instructors, with an average of over three years teaching experience, have studied, worked, and taught in other countries, and are therefore able to respond to any individual student’s or organization’s particular needs. Depending on your objectives, typical classroom activities might include role-plays, discussions, and other enjoyable language practice. See more
Approach and Methodology
Our lessons will generally follow an integrated skills approach. Classes will focus on functional and notional areas, and then work on the language skills required to achieve competence in those areas. These will consist of a mix of structural, lexical and cultural items, including work on question forms, polite phrases, and appropriate intonation. The instructors will always follow an active learning approach, engaging their students in the target language.
Testimonials
Many of our students have decided to study at ICC by being introduced to us by one of their friends, colleagues or family members. Many of them continue to study at our schools for years or come back to learn a different language. Please listen to the voices of some of our current students and graduates:
“ICC was very accommodating and responded to my specific language needs. Unlike other language schools, ICC had a less ridged approach to language instruction and allowed the student to articulate specific language objectives and modify them as appropriate. This, in conjunction with lesson plans that adapted to specific student strengths and weaknesses, enabled me to advance my speaking and listening abilities far beyond expectations. ICC is particularly appropriate for students who are enthusiastic about language learning and are willing to take a proactive role in their language studies.”
