Global Consistency
with Local Delivery
With EC’s excellent standards of learning, you can be surethat wherever you choose to study, you will receive the samelessons as your fellow EC classmates around the world.

A Typical Lesson
STEP 1SETTING CLEAR OBJECTIVESClass begins with your teacher discussing
the objective for the lesson with the class.
You are encouraged to think about howeach thing you learn today will help you inyour life outside the class. The objective fortoday is to be better able to order food in a
restaurant.

STEP 4
PRACTISING THE LANGUAGE
You practise with your partner and they give
you feedback on your pronunciation; you givethem feedback on the adjectives they use.
You practise the conversation again.

16

STEP 2LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENTClass listens to an example of two people
ordering food. Analyse this conversation
with your partner, learning adjectives fordescribing food, how to ask questions about
the menu politely and how to order foodnaturally. Throughout the lesson, work on
your pronunciation and intonation.

STEP 5
GETTING FEEDBACK
Your teacher gives you feedback on how
you’ve done. The lesson ends by returning to
the lesson objective and discussing what you
have learnt and how you can use it outside
the classroom.

STEP 3
WHAT DOES SUCCESS LOOK LIKE?
Before practising the conversation, you
discuss what a successful conversation looks
like and decide what you want to focus onin your practice. You may decide to focus on
your natural pronunciation and intonation,
while your partner chooses to focus on theiruse of adjectives.

STEP 6REAL LIFE PRACTICE
After class you go to dinner club on the social
programme or go out with friends and orderfood in a real-life setting. During dinner, you
discuss your experience with one friend fromclass. The next day, discuss the conversationin class with what you used from the lesson
the day before.

A Week in the Life ofan EC London Student
Louisa, Swiss student at EC London

MondayThursday20

Sunday
I have just unpacked my things at my home
for the next month and am now reading about
my school and schedule on EC Online. I havebeen studying for one week on EC Virtual
already and tomorrow is my first face-to-faceclass. A new city, a new language and a whole
new experience. I can't wait!

Relaxing in a residence at EC London

MondayTuesday

Wednesday

Today, I got to the school and there wasliterally an orange carpet at the entrance! I felt
like a celebrity! The staff and teachers were sofriendly and they helped with any questions I
had about my course. We had an orientation
talk to welcome us to the city which was very
helpful. The whole day was really fun as we’re
all new and already I feel as though I’m making
friends.

I’m in love with EC London and the city! It’s
buzzing and every day there’s something
new! It’s only my first day of classes and it’schallenging to speak English all day long but
I can see how my English will improve during
my time here. It helps that my teacher is soknowledgeable and makes learning such fun!
We played some games to practise English ina different way. It helped break the ice withpeople too.

This morning, I went to a workshop called
Pronunciation Clinic to help make my English
sound more natural. It is so good to hearpronunciation explained by a teacher. I ate
lunch with my classmates, then we went toour afternoon classes. This evening I went on
the London’s Hidden Pubs Tour organised by
EC and had such fun! The staff are great andso entertaining!

ThursdayFridaySaturdayMy classes were in the morning today, whichmeant I had the afternoon free to explore alittle with some new friends. The school isclose to many tourist sights so we walked
around Camden Market, went on the London
Eye and took a walk along bustling South
Bank. It is lovely to feel like a local, to be able
to walk into a café and talk to people as I order
my coffee… I’m starting to think that maybe
someday I could live and work here.

I went to another free workshop thismorning, called Grammar Q&A and then to
my classes in the afternoon. Having bothin one day is a great way to go over what I
learned at the Q&A. I can already feel myself
understanding more and more in class andoutside of it too. EC encourages us even when
we make mistakes and I love that. I also saw
some students looking very happy during
graduation from their course today. This will
hopefully be me by the end of my course too!

Today was the school trip to Cambridge…
what a beautiful city! Punting down the river
Cam felt like a fairy-tale and afterwards, wewent for the traditional cream tea where I
tasted scones for the first time! It amazes
me how each day is something new and evenbetter than the one before. My new friends,
the teachers and staff are all wonderful andto think I still have 3 weeks of this left to enjoy.
Bring it on!

CelebratingYour Success

Learning English in Malta can be a life changing experience

Ivan Andres Padron Bazzarelli, 23, Venezuelan.
Your success is our goal and you can be confident that we will do everything we can to get you there! From beginners, improvers
to advanced levels of English language student, everyone studies English to find their voice. Each one has their own incentive,
and their road to achieving their dreams through English. One of our past students, Ivan, tells us his story about how he came to
study at EC and what his success means for him and to us.

Why did you come to study here?
In the beginning, when my father suggested I
go to another country to learn English, I didn’t
want to. I was completely against that idea,
I had been attached to my family, culture,friends, and my girlfriend. To be honest, I was
terrified; it took me a long time to decide
whether to take it or leave it. After a while
I realised that I couldn’t miss out on thisgreat opportunity and I should face my fears
and leave behind all those things that were
holding me back.

46

Finally, when I took my decision to go abroad
to learn English, I started to think about
all those options which were on the table.
Honestly, EC Malta was the last option I
took into consideration to go abroad. First, I
had looked at the other EC schools in USA,
Canada, Ireland and United Kingdom but
taking into consideration all the pros and cons
my last decision was EC Malta.
I am thankful that I chose EC Malta because it
has been my best experience so far.

Do you think you’ve reached your goals?
For sure I reached my English goals. In the
beginning, my English was too basic in all thefour skills. When I came to Malta I couldn’t
speak and understand, I was struggling tofind the way to communicate with people.
I started in an Elementary level and afteralmost a year I finished in a Pre-Advanced level.
Personally, it wasn’t easy for me to get the skills
and knowledge in every level I went through.
I studied a lot and many times I didn’t
succeed, so I got disappointed more thanonce because I was working hard but theachievement wasn't coming. My teachers
helped me understand that this was just partof the learning process. The most important
fact is that I never gave up and I kept
going. With the support of my teachers anddetermination, I achieved so much!
After 11 months as an English student at
EC Malta, I improved my English a lot, I feel
I passed from nothing to a good English
level. Nowadays, I can communicate andunderstand people surrounding me. I
expanded my English knowledge.
I believe I can achieve even more. So, I don’t
have doubt that I can keep improving myEnglish. Thankfully, my experience at EC
Malta gave me the tools to do it.

What’s your best memory from your period
at EC?
Well, if we talk about memories, I had a lot
but talking about the best memory, it cannot
be denied that the best one is related to all
the people I met from different countries
around the world with different cultures,
beliefs, mindsets, religions, etc.
Even though we are from different countries
and sometimes from opposite cultures, wefound a way to share our values and respect
each other as human beings. It was amazing
to spend time with all those people, share
our traditional dishes, go out together andlearn every day. In some cases, we created areal connection that we will never forget inour lives.
How was your experience in the
Cambridge course?
The experience in the Cambridge course wasone of the best experiences that I’ve ever had
due to the way that the course is organised.
Moreover, it was a great opportunity tocreate very good relationships with people
from different countries and cultures.

What are your plans for the future? Do you
think that this experience at EC Malta will
help you achieve your goals?
After this course I will go to Barcelona tostart my studies in Business Administrationand Management. In addition, I think that
this experience will help me a lot in my futureplans and in achieving all my goals because
here at EC Malta I have learned more than justEnglish. I’m very glad for this experience andI wish that everyone has the chance to comeand live this amazing journey that Malta has
been for me.
