Practice Your Pronciation Through Role Play
Students are motivated to perform, act and speak in our English lessons by using the Direct English material as their script on the screen, exactly as if they were actors! They are challenged to use their English words in mind to apply into simple conversation in daily life. They get familiar with real-life scenarios conversations. Also, "motivation influences how and why people learn as well as how they perform" (Chin Chun Shih, 2001). In a few words, it will all help you to become more confident when speaking English!
Online Conversations With Teachers & Peers
Classes with more learners have proven to be beneficial for non-native speakers as not only they can exercise listening skills as much as speaking skills. They can also be more fun as the lesson becomes more dynamic and smooth, and shy students have even more opportunity to become increasingly more confident to speak week by week.
Comprehension Quizzes
Students complete quizzes to review concepts, learn new vocabulary, and master their reading and writing in English. This helps them to check their preparation for the class whenever and wherever they have a moment.
