Listening Class

Since this is an English course for adult advance learners, the classes are interactive by holding group and class discussion that encourage the students to practice their newly learned vocabulary. The same layout or schedule applies to every single lesson, but the topic discussed will be different. As the students are all mature adults with good English ability, the classes are more serious and students can participate in enthusiastic discussion instead of having games like most of the children based English lessons. Below is the design for a typical listening class that runs for 90 minutes.

A Typical Listening Session

Goal: Let the students first discover the new words, then consolidate the knowledge by taking part in the class activities and discussion. At the end of the class, the students are expected to have learnt some aspects of all the new vocabulary so they are able to review them at home and do their homework.

Homework: The students are asked to study the new vocabulary and find out or research about the other usages, such as register, grammar, collocation, and so on. They will share the information at the beginning of the next class.

Reading Class

The reading class is divided into two major sections: the online class, and the actual class. Students are expected to finish the online reading lesson before they come to class so they will be equipped with the knowledge that is necessary in order to participate actively in the actual class in the classroom. The same layout or schedule applies to every single lesson, but the topic discussed will be different. Below is the design for a typical reading class that runs for 40 minutes and the steps that should be taken by the students at home when using the online web-course.
