EF English First schools offer classes to all age groups. Inevitably, students tend to come from the more affluent sectors of society and attend classes for a variety of reasons. The most common reasons for investing in classes are to supplement school lessons, to progress in the workplace, to enhance and consolidate English speaking skills before embarking upon extended trips abroad, to prepare for impending IELTS examinations or as a form of recreation.
English is part of the national curriculum in most regions that EF English First operates therefore most students under the age of forty usually have a sound but passive knowledge of the language. Students like the fact that we offer relatively small classes, which have a strong communicative element. It is practice in speaking and listening that they value most from EF English First classes.
In some EF English First schools, approximately 50% of the students are children aged 7 to 14. Parents are looking towards their children's future and actively seek out the best programmes for them and communicative English courses are becoming more and more popular. |
