On the first morning of the course students are assessed by our grading test. We accept complete beginners, but basic knowledge of English is helpful. Our fully-experienced teachers encourage a communicative approach to learning, combining tried and tested methods with the best of new ideas and techniques. Courses cover written and spoken practise in grammatical structure, vocabulary and idioms, listening comprehension, guided and free conversation, pronunciation and intonation and register, reading and writing. At certain levels coursebooks may be used.
Students can send and receive e-mails as well as surf the web for a small charge.
Tape recorders are widely used in classwork, teachers making their own cassettes of aiuthentic, realistic material. Videos are linked with coursebooks, or the news or topic material may be taken from the national television. St. Peter s also operates a team-teaching scheme, where tuition of all the classes is shared between the teachers. Classes are mixed nationality. When they have satisfactory completed the course, all students receive a school diploma.
