Hybrid learning is suited to learners who already have already acquired a conversational level of English. It is a well known fact among teachers that students of all age groups learn much more effectively when a lesson is made more enjoyable and interesting. If you ask anyone what subjects they enjoyed the most at school, most will say the one which the teacher was passionate about and made fun and enjoyable. Traditional teaching methodologies are certainly important at the early stages of language acquisition but as students progress alternative strategies can be introduced. This keeps the learning process exciting, interesting and stimulating. For that reason we decided to develop learning strategies based upon those core principles and build lessons around interesting subjects that students would find enjoyable and rewarding!

What is the difference between a normal English lesson and a hybrid lesson?

Unlike conventional English lessons which focus more on textbook and traditional teaching methodologies, a hybrid lesson structures the language learning process around a primary subject. This means that students can effectively improve their language skills and also acquire knowledge about another subject at the same time. A hybrid lesson can be based on any type of subject such as sport, history or current affairs for example. Hybrid lessons incorporate all of the essential elements of language acquisition such as listening, speaking, reading, pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary.

What is the difference between a general discussion and a hybrid lesson?

In our experience normal conversational English lessons tend to be somewhat random and unstructured unless they been well developed over time. Our lessons have been purposely designed and systematically developed. All of the subject matter has been well researched and the lessons have been fine tuned over many years. This means that the most important elements of the learning process have been carefully built in to the discussion in advance, thus removing the random aspect and maximizing the scope for learning. All of the subjects we currently offer have been carefully selected and have been taught and enjoyed by many students since 20015. All of the resources we use have been carefully curated and are continually updated.

And finally...

We understand that these days most people lead very busy lives. Hybrid learning is both time efficient and cost effective. It's the perfect solution for anyone who would like to improve or practice their English, whilst learning something new and useful!

About hybrid learning...

English for Health and Wellness...

We are proud to present the first ever hybrid language course of its kind combining English teaching with health and wellness. The course is the product of 25 years English teaching experience combined with over 10 years of research into health and wellness subjects. The course has been specially designed for language schools and large or small businesses but it can also be delivered to individuals. We chose health and wellness as our flagship course for the following reasons:

1) Most people would like to improve their health and well being so it is a subject area with very broad appeal.

2) Interest in health and wellness has dramatically increased in recent years largely due to the availability of information on the internet.

3) More and more people are now turning to alternative therapies such as mindfulness and meditation in order to improve their quality of life and to reduce stress levels.

4) It is a course that perfectly compliments the goals of most businesses and individuals.

5) Unlike niche subjects such as law or engineering which contain a large amount of arcane terminology, health and wellness it is a extremely broad subject area that covers the full spectrum of the English language.

6) The program has already been successfully road tested since 2015 most notably with a group of doctors who wanted to improve their English.

7) It’s fun, interesting and educational all at the same time !

We researched the most important aspects of health and wellness and distilled them into 8 separate 90 minute lessons. As students are encouraged to share ideas and information, the course is suitable to those that are already familiar with the subjects and also those that have relatively little or no knowledge of them. We will be using a variety of resources including videos, podcasts and reading materials.

The core subjects...

Diet and Nutrition

Meditation

Mindfulness

Breathing techniques for health and relaxation

Exercise and fitness methods

How to get better quality sleep

Stoic philosophy for better health

How to organise your life more effectively

The traditional employer-worker relationship model has undergone something of a revolution in the last 50 years. Outdated business practices have now been replaced by more informal and relaxed ones. Numerous studies from around the world conducted by prestigious institutions such as Harvard and Oxford, have clearly shown that happy and healthy employees are consistently more productive. This translates into less time off sick and increased growth and productivity for the most progressive and forward thinking companies. Our program can quite literally turbo charge your employees health and well being in the space of just 8 weeks AND improve their language skills.This can only benefit your business!!

We are looking for well established language schools to partner with us. Our lessons have been designed to compliment all types of English courses. We can provide extra curricular study for prospective or existing students looking to fast track their language skills. Our lessons can be also delivered as part of your schools curriculum or as fun and exciting optional extra. Lessons can be delivered online at any time and in the comfort of students’ own homes. Students are free to choose between group or individual lessons. We can also provide you with teachers at short notice to cover for sickness and holidays.

In addition to the many benefits we have outlined in the above sections, our online group lessons also provide students with an exciting opportunity to network and interact with other English speakers from all over the world. Please do not hesitate to get in touch and we will be happy to set up a free and informal consultation.
