7. Methodology
English Today has a communicative integrative method
that combines reading, writing, speaking and listening. This
method helps to naturally develop fluency, self-confidence,
accuracy, and long-lasting ability in using English. Primarily
English Today courses concentrate on communication.
Students will not learn language skills for use only in
a classroom environment but will also learn strategies
enabling them to communicate in real life situations.
At English Today we believe in real-life application, not
just theory.
•• Current course methodology in the teaching of
languages involves participants playing active and
responsible roles in the classroom as well as being
encouraged to recognize the most effective methods
of gaining and using the language. This methodology
is both learner-centered and communicative, with the
trainer‘s role being mostly as facilitator.
•• Participants will be provided with and encouraged
to discover language through a variety of methods,
resources and media provided by the teacher and
constructed with other participants.
•• Class activities will include pair work, group work,
simulation and task-based learning, as well as the
more traditional methods of formal teaching and
presentation.
English Today trainers pay special attention to creating
a real world experience for participants, firmly rooting
input and activities in everyday working contexts that
participants encounter.

8. Teachers
English Today hires only professional, qualified teachers
of English. We look for passionate individuals who are
committed to taking a personal interest in the progress of
each student and who are known for their enthusiastic
manner in the classroom. Our teachers have degrees in
English literature and linguistics with a focus in English
and they have all completed the CELTA Course Certificate of
English Language Teachers to Adults.
English Today teachers understand that learning a new
language may not be easy, but this does not mean that it
can’t be fun.
