ACADEMIC ASSESSMENT & PRogRESS MoNIToRINg Students take an entry test on arrival at BBSI and are then placed in appropriate classes.

Academic Summary and Course Entry Levels Teaching Methodology BBSI’s aims are to encourage students’ responsibility for their own learning, and to develop their language within real-life contexts. In general English courses the emphasis is on improving language skills across all four skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening) with an emphasis on effective communication. These courses offer a blended learning approach; classroom teaching includes the use of a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) on our Moodle platform, myBBSI. This allows students the flexibility to access a wide range of activities to meet their needs and interests, both in school and at home. The VLE also enables our teachers to closely monitor progress and to provide targeted work to challenge and support each individual student.

Academic achievement is measured by means of continuous assessment on all courses. As part of their studies, students are set a range of tasks to demonstrate their progress and understanding, including essays, reports, meeting role-plays, presentations and academic assignments. We aim for high academic standards and we allocate an appropriate final grade on BBSI awards. Regular student tutorials are an important part of the feedback process, so students are aware of the progress they are making, and how best to improve.

ACADEMIC STAFF The emphasis at BBSI is on high-quality professional teaching. We employ full-time native-speaker level teachers, as well as part-time teachers and freelance specialists. All our teachers have one or more English teaching qualifications, and the majority of our teachers have degrees and other qualifications, as well as appropriate and relevant professional experience which they have gained in their respective fields.

BBSI Course Entry Levels and English Language Test Comparison

On specialised courses, students learn about key language, concepts and theories within their subject through the medium of English. Students are able to focus on learning the terms, study skills and communication skills that will help them in their career or in higher education. The emphasis is on learner independence, which involves the students in research and collaborative tasks both inside and outside the classroom, strengthened by a bank of course materials and study support on our VLE, myBBSI. Those who choose to progress to university have the advantage of academic study skills, as well as specific knowledge about their field of study, to put them ahead of their peers.

CREDIT

Students receive a personal timetable on arrival at BBSI, and class times are published weekly within the school.

Students who successfully complete a BBSI Vocational, University Foundation or Pre-Masters Higher-Certificate, Diploma, or Extended Diploma course, will also receive a certificate from the national awarding body, NCFE, for the 16-week specialised elements of the course.

Accommodation and Welfare We always recommend homestay as the most effective way for students to improve their English outside the school. Residential accommodation can also be beneficial if students make the effort to talk to other residents from different countries. If students prefer to stay in private accommodation, eg for family reasons, they should be aware that this may limit their progress in English. Standard Homestay Accommodation BBSI standard homestay accommodation provides a single bedroom/study with a local host. Standard homestay is available on a part-board basis (breakfast and evening meal Monday-Friday and all meals at weekends), on a bed and breakfast basis, or on a self-catering basis. Most rooms have internet connection. All homestays are inspected regularly to ensure that high standards of comfort, cleanliness, safety and catering are met and maintained.
