Students will first take a mandatory English test lasting 2 hours. Only the result will help us assess the level of each student.

The learning process will be conducted through lectures, discussions or debates, presentations and round tables on current topics.

Of course, a class session lasts two (02) hours, which means a minimum of twenty-five (25) learning sessions per level. You will be taught technical English as well. Therefore, each student will have 80 course hours, which means three 2-hour sessions per week.

The methodology comprises reading with phonetics, vocabulary, comprehension, grammar, conjugation, commenting, writing and speaking. This methodology will be adapted to the level of the student. The training is deepened and certified at the end of the course.

Concerning general training

CIAL INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL courses last two hours (2h) per session. As a student or trainee, you must be available to attend classes on time, according to your schedule.

We have two main methods for each class session. Method 1 comprises three phases (Reading and Comprehension / Commentary / Listening). Method 2 comprises only one phase: the actual classes.

Method 1

First phase: Reading

At this level, students are taught the best way to read, the best way to pronounce words by applying stresses for emphasis and intensity. During the reading class, CIAL INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL provides you with a vocabulary on your table for each class.

Phase Two: Commenting on the text

It is not enough to just read. You have to understand. But it's not enough to understand: you have to convey what you have read and understood. This is commenting.

Third phase: Listening

In this phase, the Listener silently follows what he has just read, in order to learn how the word is pronounced.

Method 2: Lessons

Lessons are prepared and put in the box in front of you. After reading, commenting and listening, you take the lesson from the box and follow it carefully. At the end of the course, you leave with it. In CIAL INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL you do not copy as you would in a grammar school or in a university lecture hall.
