The main objective in teaching a foreign language is to develop the student's ability and competence in the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing.

Classes are taught by DIRECT METHOD, which follows a natural learning process. Ideally, they are held in English and are given by native language teachers. This means that students are encouraged to think directly in English from the very beginning. New grammar and vocabulary are introduced and developed through the use of highly controlled practice activities. At this early stage, the teacher concentrates on pronunciation, pace and intonation and corrects students' mistakes. Once students have mastered the basics, they begin to practise more naturally and apply what they have learned to realistic situations.

Above all, students must be motivated and interested in learning a foreign language. With this in mind, it is important to base a language course on topics that interest the students, bearing in mind their age and background.

In addition to course books, CD Roms, videos and cassette tapes have all proven to be effective teaching materials, so that students hear a wide range of accents and expressions.
