Teaching and Lessons

During their time at Ardmore we help students improve their communication skills. Therefore lessons include plenty of opportunities for students to use the language. Classroom activities include role-play, pair-work, group-work, group projects, surveys, questionnaires and games. Each workbook contains eight topics and all students in each of the six levels study the same topic each day. Topics have been designed to be interesting and relevant to our young learners and every day they study something new. Through studying the same topics, different levels and groups continue talking about what they have learned outside of the classroom and they can be linked to activities.
