About this course
Our Keen Teens Courses have been designed as highly communicative English Language Programmes in which students can expect to practice their language communication skills, using a range of language, and covering a wide range of topics through a variety of innovative, interactive, and engaging lessons.
No course book is used in our lessons and though it will be integrated, no particular focus is made on grammar. Instead, a variety of conversation and vocabulary games and activities, project topics, video, and audio resources, as well as authentic materials have been carefully selected to create original and fun lessons aimed at young learners.
The focus in our lessons is on Speaking and Listening but there will be opportunities for reading and writing embedded in the activities. Lessons are tailored towards the needs of teenage language learners of today.
We aim to ensure students gain sufficient skills and opportunities to express themselves on the most common and essential topics in which it is expected of them to do so and to gain some essential 21st-century skills such as communication, critical thinking, creativity, innovation, and of course, collaboration.
We believe this programme will allow them to enjoy the language-learning process, will enable them to review and build upon their overall knowledge, and ensure they can progress in English by gaining greater fluency, accuracy, and confidence.
Students will make great progress while having a fantastic time!
