ENGLISH ACCOMMODATIONS

The Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) serves as the comprehensive basis on which students’ language progression is measured. The placement of students into groupings is decided in accordance with their score in mandatory end-of-year examinations and MAP tests.

English Language & Literature A2 students (see below for details) may be allowed to use the course textbook and be given extra time to complete tests if this is helpful and practical. They are permitted to use both monolingual English and bilingual dictionaries, as well as also given. A compensatory mark may be added to the score for tests, examinations, and assignments (homework, papers, projects) at the discretion of the teacher.

English Language & Literature B1 students are permitted to use both monolingual English and bilingual dictionaries in all classes except English Language and Literature ones.

English Language & Literature B2 students have no allowances.

ENGLISH SUPPORT with ENGLISH A2 & INTENSIVE ENGLISH

The two types of language acquisition courses, English A2 and Intensive English, provide focusing on listening, reading, speaking, and writing. Since English A2 and English Intensive courses often have small numbers of students, instruction can be individualized, and the basic curriculum adapted to meet the needs of a particular group of students. Students are thus encouraged to invest in their learning and interact closely with the classroom teacher and peers to increase their skills in English.
