Our Course Development

To help you succeed in a
global community.

Research-based and data driven

Academically this means we work with our students to improve theircommunicative competence, ensuring they have the language, theconfidence and the skills to interact with other English speakers fromall backgrounds and capabilities. EC’s Educational Philosophy.

We believe in continuous innovation and have made research a
cornerstone of the ongoing process of review and development. This
informs all aspects of academic management from our curriculum tostudents' support to teacher training.

Our students are studying English as an investment in their future,they are studying for their career, for further education, to travel andsometimes to emigrate. They are studying English so they can fully
participate in a global community, but what does that look like?
Our students will need to be able to communicate with people;
y From different culturesy With different accents

We have a very experienced team that is dedicated to developing ouracademic offering, from curriculum to academic processes.
This team:y Attends and speaks at conferences all over the world.
y Does research into learning and assessment to ensure ourstudents are getting the most up to date and evidence-based
methodology.

y And at different levels of Englishy Collaborates with our publisher, National Geographic Learning(NGL) to inform the development of their materials.

We embrace this challenge and have built our courses, our support
and our schools to ensure our students are not just learning English
but learning to communicate effectively.

y Collects data from assessments and feedback to measure theimpact of courses.
y Analyses feedback from students to inform our development.
y Monitors, evaluates and implements changes to constantly
improve/evolve our classroom experience and learning support.

Our Methodology

Our Assessment

The communicative approach– The EC Way

Formative, personalised and relevant.

"We are committed to putting students at the centre of their learning and engaging them in a visible process to build
their learning, cultural awareness and their language skills.

We believe that assessment should primarily be a formative process,a true reflection of a student’s capabilities which informs students
on their learning needs and successes.

By building their learning skills, students attain a lifelong benefit, enabling them to take advantage of all learning
opportunities they encounter, both in and out of the classroom, and as a result, progress more quickly"

Our assessment is designed to meet students’ individual needs andtakes place throughout their courses. Our assessments occur:

What can a student expect in a communicative language classroom?
1

2
Classes will begin with an
overall lesson objective

3
Throughout the lesson,
students will work with theirpartners to learn grammar,
vocabulary and skills

How is EC different?
EC employs the Communicative Approach. However, at EC it’s notabout doing what works, it’s about doing what works best. We
believe our learners benefit from:y Knowing what they’re learning.
y Knowing why they’re learning it (how it can be used in their lives
outside the classroom).
y Knowing what success looks like.
y Choosing their personal levels of success.

PRE-ARRIVAL

4
Towards the end of thelesson, they will practiseusing this language
in context

Receive feedback in theform of error correction orinteresting language thatemerged in the conversation

Practiseon your own,
in pairs orin groups

Students take their placement test which is followed with a speaking
test on arrival. This information is used to place students in thecorrect level.
DAILY
Every day in class success criteria allow students to self-assess andpeer asses, as well as get well targeted feedback.
WEEKLYIn Friday Feedback students reflect on their week and take partin consolidation activities that provide lots of opportunities for
feedback and assessment.
MONTHLY
Following the 4-week progress assessment students receive
comprehensive feedback on their performance, areas that they
have done well at and areas they need to do further work on. This isreviewed and can be changed based on student needs.

y Knowing what they need to do better next time.

AT END OF COURSEHow do we achieve this?

Students can take an Exit Test which will show them the progress
they have made during their course in terms of Use of English,
Reading, Writing and Speaking.

y We provide real-life objectives:
Our objectives are written so that students can see how thislesson will impact their life outside the classroom.
Here’s an example of a real-life objective: Be able to make a planwith others (e.g. where to eat).
In this example students are learning to make a plan. As this issomething they do regularly, they can see how this will benefit
their lives and how to put it into practice instantly.
y We provide clear aims
y We discuss lesson aims & objectives
y We enable our learners to choose what successlooks like for themy We include feedback, reflection and repetitionin every lesson.

The EC Way
Every lesson at EC is approached the EC Way, because werecognise how important it is for our students to see progress
every day.

EC has partnered with National Geographic Learning (NGL) since 2017.
We are extremely proud of our partnership with NGL. We chose to workwith NGL not just because of their exceptional materials but because
their goal, to bring the world to the classroom and the classroom
to life, is so closely aligned with our own vision. Like EC, they see theimportance of developing intercultural communication inside theclassroom to help students succeed in the global community outside
the classroom.
EC’s Product Team works closely with NGL, regularly piloting or offering
feedback on new materials. They often meet with the editorial teams ofmajor NGL titles to discuss the direction their coursebooks will move in,meaning EC is “not just reacting to materials given but informing what
those materials are” (Michael Cummings 2023).
We are incredibly proud that students and staff from EC Brighton and EC
Dublin appear in NGL’s latest title, Outcomes 3rd Edition, as examples ofsuccessful communicators. They appear in activities raising awarenessof the wonderful variety of accents around the globe.
