Language and personal development

OISE courses are designed without compromise. They are structured with innovation and rigour. All aspects of performance in the language are evaluated with the aim of immersing the participants in different types of learning activities. These yield strong results by building the learners’ confidence in expressing themselves fluently in English with elegance and accuracy. The overriding objective is to give the learner sufficient confidence never to be at a disadvantage among other English speakers.

Constant opportunities to perform in English. Constant encouragement to practise the language within a study community of highly motivated language learners. It is in such a studious environment that participants are challenged and driven to exceed their own expectations and personal goals. Because of their focus on serious, concentrated study programmes, OISE schools are the preferred choice of the most ambitious and committed students.

for high achievers

The expertise, enthusiasm and sympathetic approach of the teaching team all combine to sustain the students’ effort and concentration making each lesson a productive and stimulating learning experience. Coming from diverse study and career backgrounds, they are able to offer instruction in a wide range of specialised areas of the language.

Teachers are chosen for their personal qualities and their ability both to engage the participants and facilitate the language learning process. They are trained to focus on the needs and weaknesses of their learner and to plan the structure and content of the lessons accordingly. The students therefore always receive tuition that is relevant and based on what they actually need to learn.

Tutorial Programmes: needs drivenTM

The Tutorial lesson, a teaching tradition of Oxford University, is one of the most effective methods of language learning.

Maximum effort and concentration

The entire course is conducted by means of individual tuition thus allowing the course to be adapted to the precise level and needs of each participant.

Tutorial tuition ensures that:

• the tutor devotes 100% attention to the student

• teaching methods are adapted to the learning style of the student, and to the pace at which the student can successfully learn

• individual weaknesses and specific needs of the student are addressed

• the course content is tailored to the student’s study or career objectives

• inhibited or reserved students receive maximum talking practice

• no time is wasted covering points already known to the student or of no relevance.

Examination skills

Students wishing to take an official exam are exposed to exam requirements with active practice on past papers under timed conditions to foster familiarity with the exam.

7

Individual lessons1 : 1

The personal language audit

A language audit carried out by the Academic Manager and the tutors at the beginning of each course determines the precise level, needs and objectives of the participant. This forms the basis of the student’s personal learning programme.

A balanced timetable

Each participant is assigned a team of tutors rather than just one tutor. Participants are therefore exposed to different teaching approaches as well as different personalities, voices and accents which help to sustain and stimulate concentration.

Specialisations

Tutorial tuition allows for specialisation in a comprehensive range of specific professional areas. These are taught by experts in their particular field. For a full list of specialist skills please see page 4.

Quatorial Programmes: target drivenTM

The Quatorial course is designed with precision to give participants the skills and confidence to interact effectively in English.

The training environment

Octorial Programmes: progress drivenTM

The Octorial programme develops a fluent use of the language in a learning environment conducive to high achievement.

Focus on language improvement

The day is divided into a number of sessions, each one with a clear language improvement focus and each one delivered in the learning environment most likely to achieve the learning goals. The programme is based around Octorial lessons (maximum 8 participants per class) which are designed to concentrate on stimulating accurate reactions so that the use of the language rapidly becomes instinctive.

A small learning group for rapid progress

The structured programme enables students to make fast progress. The day starts with a plenary session in which students practise presenting information concisely. The combination of Octorial lessons and workshops enables students to develop their knowledge, skills and confidence. Individual needs are identified and clarified, and each day students work on these in the Masterclass session. The closing plenary revisits and reviews learning, so aiding memorisation.
