THE METHOD

Our method is based on the premise that languages are leant in order to communicate. The courses are organized in order to foster the understanding of a foreign language not just in the classroom but in the outside world as well. The focus is on active skills. Technical subjects are included (grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation) as well as the way a language is actually used in given contexts. This encourages the students to seek and acquire active skills without the protection of the classroom, and to use those skills accurately and effectively. Students therefore learn how to write, read, listen to and, above all, speak English.

EQUIPMENT

The Regency School continuously updates the teaching materials and equipment available for language learning. Without changing its direct method, the School encourages students to use these materials and advanced technology on their own, outside the classroom, to increase their contact with the language. The School has a self-access centre with language lab, computer language work stations, an Internet link, a satellite dish for foreign language TV, library and video library. Every classroom has a TV, video and tape recorder. This equipment provides the student with a variety of stimuli, making learning enjoyable and interesting.
