Our Methodology

The communicative approach – the EC way"We are committed to putting the students at the centre of their learning and engaging students in a visible process
to build their learning skills, cultural awareness and their language skills.
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"

How is EC different?
EC employs the Communicative Approach. However,at EC it’s not about 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 usedin their lives outside the classroom).
y Knowing what success looks like.
y Choosing their personal levels of success.
y Knowing what they need to do better next time.

How do we achieve this?
y We provide real-life objectives:
Our objectives are written so that students can see
how this lesson will impact their life outside theclassroom.
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 in the EC Way,
because we recognise how important it is for ourstudents to see progress in every day.

Our Assessment

Formative, personalised and relevant
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.
Our assessment is designed to meet students’ individual needs and takes place throughout their courses.
They happen:

Steeped in history but known for its start-up and esports and i-gaming
industries, this power packed island has more to it than beaches – though
they are spectacular! Hiking, sailing, golf and the arts are all easily doable;
the island may be small but its heart – and social calendar is BIG. Smallenough to get around easily – a mix of cultures and its history make it aplace that people return to year after year.
