A new series of Option Classes!

Here atĀ Tti School of English, we are constantly updating the courses we offer, in order to stay in tune with students needs and desires, and in line with this we are rolling out a new series of option classes. The option classes are a chance for students to take a more specialised class and focus on a specific skill or area of language, such as pronunciation, listening skills, or even debating, in addition to the more wide-ranging areas covered in theirĀ General English course.

Our new range of option classes includes both those with an academic focus as well as some which are more about communication.

 

ā€œLike a Nativeā€Ā is focussed on giving students the ability to understand real, natural, modern English; an opportunity to replace classic ā€˜textbookā€™ idioms like ā€œItā€™s not my cup of teaā€ with phrases such as ā€œIā€™m not a big fan of ________ā€ or ā€œCanā€™t say Iā€™m really a _______ personā€, which might have more currency on the streets of London in 2019. Students can also examine modern pronunciation, abbreviations for WhatsApp, and be equipped to better understand the latest Netflix series and top memes.

ā€œFunction Roomā€Ā is all about students gaining to tools they need to do certain things in English. Want to complain aboutĀ service? Interrupt someone without being rude?Ā ExpressĀ regret about a bad decision youā€™ve made? Often there are several ways to do the same job (ā€˜I wish Iā€™d brought my charger!ā€™/ā€™I should have brought my charger!ā€™/ā€™If only Iā€™d brought my charger!ā€™). In this class, students gainĀ the flexibilityĀ of expression and the ability to re-word themselves if they are not understood.

 

ā€œTest Timeā€Ā is exactly what it says on the tin; while students gain plenty of reading, speaking, listening and writing practice in their other classes, in Test Time they have the opportunity to practice those skills required for official English tests (IELTS, CAE, FCE, TOEIC etc.) in an examination context, furthering the essential skills that are tested on these assessments and also gaining experience with the specific techniques involved in answering exam-style questions.

ā€œKey Wordsā€Ā is a chance for students to focus in more detail on those tricky words, either those that have too many meanings (ā€˜get drunkā€™, ā€˜get homeā€™, ā€˜get brokenā€™, ā€˜get Ā£7.50p/hā€™, ā€˜get a gold medalā€™), or are used in two ways (ā€˜since 2004ā€², ā€˜since he was unable to payā€™), or even words where the meaning is the same, but the grammar is different (althoughĀ it was expensive,Ā despiteĀ the high price). Taking this option class, students will gain vital confidence with some of the most important words in the English language.

 

As you can see, there is something for everybody here, whether youā€™re looking to improve your casual chatting skills or are thinking of taking an official exam!
