ELC - English Language Center > Изучение Английского > Методика обучения
ELC has been using the most up-to-date English teaching methods and providing high quality English courses since 1978. Our approach to English language learning utilizes the Communicative English Teaching Method, a way of teaching that employs a number of holistic techniques to English grammar, English vocabulary, spoken English, English listening, and English reading and writing. Our holistic techniques prioritize the ability to use these English skills in real-world situations.
All ELC teachers are native speakers of American English and have a university degree and specialized training in Teaching English as a Second Language.
Our communicative teaching method is focused on improving communicative competence in English
While our teaching method utilizes resources such as grammar texts and other material to learn basic grammar, we feel that enacting real-life scenarios is the most effective way to teach and reinforce English grammar.
Teachers can reinforce new vocabulary through a number of comprehension exercises of any unfamiliar words.
ELC’s spoken English teaching techniques stress real-world communication and English conversation versus rote memorization.
ELC’s English listening teaching techniques include class participation, demonstration, and collaboration.
ELC's Reading and Writing classes focus on topics that are fundamental to English reading comprehension and writing capability.
ELC offers a variety of electives including American Culture, American Slang, Business English, Academic Skills, Film and Media, Accent Reduction, and Creative Writing.
